5. Peace education:
a. Both sides are committed to educate for peace and tolerance.
b. Both sides are committed to prevent incitement against each other.
c. Israeli children from the age of seven will learn Arabic, Palestinian tradition and culture; Palestinian children from the age of seven will learn Hebrew, Jewish tradition and culture. Regarding education: SLATE reports that Israeli and Palestinian researchers have conducted a new study of textbooks. "The study was conducted by a team of Palestinian and Israeli researchers and designed by Yale psychiatrist Bruce Wexler." There is some news about which to be encouraged. Extreme negative depictions of either side are rare. However, instituting a dual narrative like Side by Side which has "been lauded by the international press and continues to sell abroad, ... was banned by both the Israeli and Palestinian education ministries."
