    Students seeking improved education at Jewish schools that don’t teach English score a win with state appeals court

    Current and former students at Jewish schools in New York City, represented by the group Young Advocates for a Fair Education (YAFFED), won a state appeals court ruling that requires the New York State Department of Education to address their claims that these schools lack adequate English, math, and science instruction. The court decision mandates that the state develop a plan to improve educational standards for current students, not just future ones.
