Publication in Focus Magazine, on the Schmidt-Schule, a Catholic German school for Palestinian girls, in East Jerusalem, next to Damascus Gate, June 16, 2015. The girl school was founded in 1886. Since 2008 the Schmidt School is one of 140 German schools abroad to which the German state sends publicly funded German teachers. The students (about 500) can choose to take the exams of the German “Abitur” (German final exams) which allows them to study at German universities or those of the Palestinian Tawjihi (both after 12 years). All students are Palestinians, 18 percent Christians and the rest Muslims. Photo by Hadas Parush/Flash90
