Arbitrary transfer of Ethiopian students to a center for A-Risk youth

A group of students were transferred in the absence of evidence of behavioral problems or learning disabilities, demonstrating alarming disregard for their educational and/or social well being.

The factors affecting the transfer appear to have been monetary and "religious" (i.e. students were new immigrants and still needed to undergo necessary conversion processes - only public religious school available was the Center).

IAEJ presented a position paper strongly condemning the transfer and urging immediate correction of the situation. Dialogue is continuing on this issue.
