About 3,000 children from the unrecognized village of Wadi a-Naam in the south of the country did not return to schools this week and stayed at home.
According to the residents, the reason for this is the decision of the Neve Midbar Regional Council to stop providing transportation services from the settlement to the schools.
"Kindergartens and schools are concentrated in one place," explained Negev Abu Baniya, a member of one of the parents' committees.
"There is no authority to provide services to schools."
According to Abu Baniya, the council's decision on the matter was made about a month ago.
"He also noted that the schools are not connected to the Internet and do not have computers, which also led to the failure of distance learning as early as last year." "For 60 years the schools have been in the same place," al-Zadin explained. "We do not agree to move to another place, this is our village."
"We do not intend to move from here."

The Neve Midbar Regional Council said in response to allegations that the three schools in Al-Azzama A, B and C are not within the jurisdiction of the council.
"They are on a cylindrical area belonging to the Ministry of the Interior and the schools belong to the Ministry of Education," it was reported.
"Regional Council oasis director of the schools above under the agreement seeks a council to manage administrative schools and the agreement is renewed every year and allows anyone to not renew the agreement."
They said, "because the ministry did not meet the agreement that allows for learning proper conditions without Density, with adequate water supply and not in tankers, connection of schools to the electricity grid and no power supply in generators, an orderly and paved way to reach and obtain building permits for these institutions, the Regional Council announced in January 2020 that unless there is a change in the conditions. "They will return to the management of the Ministry of Education."

The Ministry of Education stated that it is committed to all children of Israel, including the children of the Bedouin diaspora.
"The ministry attaches great importance to the educational services to be given to the children of the place, and therefore a budget has been allocated for the construction of new schools for the welfare of the students, in an area far from the chemical factories of Neot Hovav," they said.
"The move was carried out in cooperation with the regional council and with the representatives of the residents, but the execution is delayed for reasons that do not depend on the ministry."
According to them, "the ministry regrets the decision of the Neve Midbar Regional Council to withdraw from its responsibility to provide ancillary education services to the schools of Al-Azzama A, B, and C, but the ministry is in negotiations with it to advance the matter."
