hat could the
Bedouin in Isra-
el possibly have in
common with the Pascua Ya-
qui Tribe of Arizona? The
answer is a staggeringly high
student drop-out rate (some
75 percent and a joint educa-
tional project which plans to
remedy the situation.
Says Dr. Ismael Abu Saad,
the first Israeli Bedouin to be
awarded a Ph.D., and a recent
recipient of a Wolf Foundation
fellowship, "Education is the
key. The Bedouin and the In-
dians may have moved from
tents to houses, but they are
quite unprepared for their
new way of life."
Of an estimated 80,000
Negev Bedouin, 45,000 still
live in isolated communities
with inadequate educational
facilities. Tribal schools often
consist of one teacher and one
classroom, and the addition of
parental pressure — Bedouin
parents traditionally rely on
their children, particularly
the girls, to help in the home
— means that few Bedouin
children finish high school,
with even fewer pursuing
higher studies.
Such was the case for Dr.
Abu Saad, who achieved his
education against over-
whelming odds. One of 10
children born in a tent, "I
would walk eight kilometers
to school and back till the
fifth grade," he says. "And
from the fifth to the ninth
grade I traveled by donkey 20
kilometers each way. But I
was lucky," he insists. "My
parents were very suppor-
tive."
In order to help the Bedouin
adjust to the demands of
modern society, Dr. Saad, a
research fellow at the Hubert
H. Humphrey Institute of
Social Ecology at the Ben-
Gurion University of the
Negev, has, together with the
U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services,
developed a unique educa-
tional program. Supported by
the Council of Jewish Federa-
tions in Washington, the aim,
according to Dr. Richard
Israelowitz, head of the In-
stitute, "is to develop a pro-
gram that is specifically
tailored to economically
disadvantaged minority com-
munities."
Its unique feature is its
simultaneous implementa-
tion by the Bedouin and the
Pascua Yaqui Tribe of
Arizona's Sonoran Desert,
which will involve a series of
