It should be noted that the publication of this book is the first initiative of its type… by the Bortokala.com Institute in Nazareth, which excels in the area of Palestinian-Palestinian contact. After the Palestinian Ministry [of Education] responded to the initiative, the minister ordered the appointment of Mr. Ayman Hodali as head of student activities in the ministry and as the contact person between the ministry and the institute, until the initiative was published.
The director of the Bortokala.com Institute announced that with the execution of the quality project, a large window will be opened to our male and female students through which they will come to know the Palestinian university network, which constitutes a source of academic and national pride for all of our Palestinian people, as it has developed and reached the point it is at despite the occupation and its activities. The guidebook constitutes a new gate for the Palestinian-Palestinian contact in all its aspects towards the unification of the two parts of the orange that have been divided against their will since the Nakba (i.e., “the catastrophe,” the Palestinian term for the establishment of the State of Israel) of our Palestinian people in 1948.
It should be noted that the book will be distributed for free to 11th and 12th grade students of the Arab high schools in the Interior."
