Hand in Hand – Bridge over the Wadi ((アラビア語:يداً بيد – جسر عبر الوادي); (ヘブライ語:יד ביד – גשר על הוואדי)) is the third joint Arab-Jewish primary school in Israel, founded in 2004 by the Hand in Hand: Center for Jewish Arab Education in Israel, which also runs three other bilingual schools in Israel. It is located in Kafr Qara, an Arab village in the Wadi Ara area. In its first year, 2004–2005, the school had 105 students, from kindergarten to grade 3; in the 2005–2006 year, there were 180 students, from kindergarten to grade 4. 50% of the students are Arabs, and 50% – Jewish. Since then however, the number of Jewish students declined and in 2011, their parents dropped them out allegedly due to the political situation and high crime in the Arab sector.〔http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4027169,00.html〕 The school's students come from many settlements in the area, including Kafr Qara, 'Ara, Ar'ara, Baqa al-Gharbiyye, Katzir-Harish, Pardes Hanna-Karkur, Ein Iron, Givat Ada, and others. The school is the subject of a 2008 documentary, "Bridge Over the Wadi."〔(‘Bridge Over the Wadi’ Shows Children Striking a Balance ) New York Times 3 May 2008〕 ==The educational model== As in all Hand in Hand schools, Bridge over the Wadi has an equal number of Arab and Jewish students; each class has two teachers, one Arab and one Jewish, the school has two co-principals, Arab and Jewish (currently Nuha Khatieb and Yohanan Eshchar). The school teaches bi-lingually, in Arabic and Hebrew; the students' achievements in both languages are comparable to the achievements of students in single-language schools in Israel. The school exposes the students to the three cultures: Jewish, Islamic and Christian, and demonstrates in a straightforward and practical way the principles of democracy and social equality. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hand in Hand – Bridge over the Wadi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
