About Paper:

This presentation features an archival and textual study that analyzes both British correspondence and British and Palestinian memoirs to investigate the establishment of education policies in the region before and during the British Mandate of Palestine. Current literature on the subject shows how the British gave Palestinians less autonomy in their education and purposively aimed to keep the Arab race in a lower class of society to make colonial resistance harder. The immigrating Jewish population, meanwhile, had a stronger and more autonomous educational system thanks to substantial funding through the World Zionist Organization. By reviewing this data collection. this presentation not only addresses the colonial motive but tracks a correlation between increased military and police spending and the poorer education quality of Palestinians. Ultimately, this presentation argues that while racialized and class ideas were a huge motive, it was also Britain's willingness to submit to Zionist pressure and direct more expenditure to the police that resulted in less funding and attention given towards an autonomous and strong Palestinian educational system. This deprived the indigenous Arabs economic and political power over the growing Jewish population. The Impact of the COVID-19 on Consumer Behavior and E-Commerce in the United States Yang Miao
