A report on The State of Israel`s Education by Dan Ben David - it is a lengthy article well worth a read. To quote
"In the 1990?s, Israel?s education budget was actually rising steadily. During this period, the scholastic achievements of Israel?s 8th graders had already deteriorated to 39th place out of the countries that participated in the TIMSS mathematics and science exams (based on the average math and science scores in the years 1995 and 1999). We ranked below all of the western countries and below additional countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and Romania." |
