Saudi Arabia has removed “all material that distorts the image of the Zionist entity and represents anti-Semitism” from its textbooks, according to a report by The Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se).
The report covered the entire humanities corpus over the last five years, totaling 301 textbooks, and including 80 textbooks for the current 2022–23 school year.
According to the report, a significant number of examples teaching harmful material on Jews and Christians, violent jihad, gender, and homosexuality have been removed, and negative portrayals of infidels have been moderated.
