History

Basmat Tab'un was founded in 1965 by Israeli authorities as a settlement for al-Sa'adia and al-Zabidat, two Bedouin tribes who settled the area during the British Mandate. It was declared a local council. In May 2011, the Israeli government approved a four-year plan with a budget of NIS 350 million for developing Bedouin communities in the North, among them Basmat Tab'un.[https://web.archive.org/web/20140611022251/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-192803229.html NIS 350m. plan approved for Bedouin in North]

The Ein Bustan (Maayan Babustan) Waldorf school in Hilf, Basmat Tab'un, is noteworthy for its multi-lingual, multi-cultural, multi-religious curriculum. The Arab students are from the surrounding villages and the Jewish students are from nearby Kiryat Tiv'on.{{cite web | url=http://theintelligence.de/index.php/gesellschaft/zeitgeist/3722-ein-arabisch-juedisches-projekt-unter-attacke.html | title=Ein arabisch-jüdisches Projekt unter Attacke | publisher=The Intelligence | date=2011-12-16 | access-date=March 22, 2013 | author=Reuter, Peter}}{{cite news | url=http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/taking-to-court-jewish-and-arab-parents-who-just-wants-their-kids-educated-together-1.508334 | title=Taking to court Jewish and Arab parents who just wants their kids educated together | work=Haaretz | date=2013-03-10 | access-date=March 22, 2013}}
