This morning's second program was a visit to Al-Qessemi College, an Islamic Teachers' College in Bacha that was established in 1989. Its vision as stated by English Literature professor Dr. Ali is to promote a culture of respect for the individual and collective narratives of all who live in Israel - Jews and Arabs. We met several of the students as well as Dr. Ali, all of whom were women. The college itself has 1600 students, 92% of whom are women. It is an accredited college in Israel offering among its degrees a B.Ed.
The whole program was awesome, the young women were inspiring and it is my hope that the aim of individuals such as these are met in the coming years.
