A NY Times article that features a probe into education standards within New York’s Hasidic Jewish community was published in both Yiddish and English, to allow the Hasidic community access to the findings of the investigation.
The newspaper alleges that within the Satmar Hasidic School, 100% of students failed English proficiency tests.
They also claim that “generations of children have been systematically denied a basic education, trapping many of them in a cycle of joblessness and dependency” in the Hasidic communities.
