The Story of the Israeli Education System

The book takes us on a journey to explore various elements of the Israeli School System. We acquaint ourselves simultaneously with a growing educational structure, and with Israeli society and culture. The Israeli School System was created during the first stages of Israeli history, and was in turn an important factor in the creation of Israeli society. Throughout its existence, either intentionally or not, the Israeli School System has had a profound influence on the formation of Israeli culture, to the effect that national culture and the National School System reflect each other, underscoring their mutual difficulties and struggles. Thus, familiarizing oneself with the Israeli School System entails a familiarization with Israeli society in its entirety, its various concerns, history, and future expectations.
This book presents the various traits of the Israeli School System, its challenges and achievement. The approach taken in this work is that knowledge and familiarization are necessary tools for understanding, empathy, criticism and improvement. The author's aim is to provide an overview of the Israeli System of Education, underscoring its various currents and agenda, the different populations that it serves, the range of age groups that it enrolls, the variety of different institutions that it oversees, and the diverse challenges that it faces. This book does not provide a thorough study of each of the above topics, but rather a general historical overview to the entire Israeli School System, inviting the readers to continue this journey on their own path, to investigate and to conduct further research.
