The D family, devoted parents of a six-year-old boy named A, were excitedly preparing to enroll their son in the elementary school near their home. However, when they attempted to register, they were met with an inexplicable and surprising refusal from the local authority, which claimed that “the child does not fit the framework.”
Their initial discomfort quickly gave way to the realization that this was discrimination based on ethnicity, leaving them hurt and humiliated. Their sense of justice, however, led them to stand against this injustice and fight for their son’s basic right to an equal education. As a result, they reached out to the Tebeka Association, which agreed to support them through legal avenues.
The association took decisive action, appealing to both the local authority and the Ministry of Education, emphasizing that such discrimination was clearly illegal. After a series of meetings and communications, the Ministry of Education was compelled to intervene and instructed the authority to reconsider its decision in light of the principles of equality and the right to education.
With the intervention of the Tebeka Association, the school’s doors were finally opened for A, and he was accepted into his new class at the start of the school year. The parents, feeling that justice had been served, could breathe a sigh of relief, knowing their struggle was not in vain. In doing so, they not only secured their son’s right to be part of his natural environment but also sent an important message of resilience in the fight against injustice and discrimination, contributing to a more just and equitable society.
