Talk:Education in Israel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You might want to note that in some cities (like Ramat Gan), students study in Primary Education from grades 1 to 8, and then move on to Highschool (9-12), thus taking "middle school" out of the equation. 87.69.17.157 21:55, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- I have some information about cases such as this, but have no reliable source to get more info from. There are many municipalities where something like this occurs, but the system varies greatly. If you can, please provide a source which has information on the various municipalities (not just Ramat Gan). However, AFAIK Ramat Gan as a whole doesn't use the system you mentioned. I will ask a friend who went to school there about this. -- Ynhockey (Talk) 19:57, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I was mainly refering to my own education, seeing as how I live in Ramat Gan and went exactly through the process of education that I have described. The best "official" source I managed to find though was from the hebrew wikipedia where this page: http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%97%D7%98%D7%99%D7%91%D7%AA_%D7%91%D7%99%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%99%D7%9D explains that in Israel since the 50's the system was as I described it (elementary 1-8, highschool 9-12), but since the 60's most of Israel has switched to (elementary 1-6, junior-high 7-9, highschool 10-12) "except several cities like Ramat Gan that have not <gone through the process of adding junior high to the education system>" 87.69.17.157 19:11, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Controversy regarding the religious "streams"
I'm interested in adding a discussion of the controversies regarding the role played by the religious sector in the Israeli education system. Is there any history regarding this issue on this article? (The talk page is surprisingly short!) It would be helpful to know this, before simply diving in. thanks, Nomoskedasticity (talk) 19:35, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
