"[PA] Minister of Education Sabri Saidam emphasized that he adheres to the Palestinian curriculum as formulated by the [PA] Ministry of Education, and that he will not allow any change to the curriculum by UNRWA. Saidam said this in a letter that he sent to one of the participants in a meeting convened by the Central Council of Parents in the Gaza Districts and [the Council of Parents] in the Maghazi Refugee Camp…

The meeting participants discussed UNRWA's attempt to change the curriculum for grades 1–4 in the UNRWA schools.

He also noted that the goal of these changes is to erase all of the Palestinian national symbols and features and harm the philosophical, moral, and national foundations of the curriculum, and first and foremost to erase the map of Palestine (i.e., the PA map of Palestine that erases Israel) and its name, to establish the existence of the 'Israeli' occupation on the Palestinian land (i.e., the state of Israel in the 1949 cease-fire lines), and [claim] it has a right."
