Looks like another propaganda piece -- there's a great deal of outside funding for "Palestinian" schools, even the Christian ones; Israel's gov't funds non-secular non-gov't schools as well as the public schools, and appears to balance funding based on the amount of other support they get, and presumably the level of other expenditures (teacher pay is likely a factor). It should be interesting to note that Haredi schools get the least, and in this chart from 2013, 3000 less per student than the Arab schools.

Interesting chart, and strange. Why the discrepancy between the amounts of funding for different faith-related schools? How do the educrats justify that? Some complicated formula?

Of course, here in the USA the faith-related schools get zilch. When I was in parochial school, we didn't even get a subsidy for the busfare.
