The New York City Council's education committee approved a curriculum on Israel initiated by the public relations department of the Israeli Consulate in New York. The curriculum will be integrated into the training program for educators teaching in 1,400 public high schools in New York City. The incentive offered to teachers who will take the course: Credit points for an academic degree. Israeli Consul General in New York Aryeh Mekel said that 'through the teachers a generation of leaders will be educated to maintain the special relations between the United States and Israel.'
