A meeting with Arab educators and a conversation about educational, social and other dilemmas

Contrary to what many people think, the Israeli education model that allows the Arab minority in Israel to learn in their mother tongue, by Arab educators, is a positive example in the world of minority treatment. However, the Arab education system belongs to the Ministry of Education of the State of Israel, the curriculum is determined by the Ministry of Education and supervised by it.

Despite the positive aspect of studying in the mother tongue, Arab school graduates finish 12 years of study with their level of Hebrew lower by a huge gap than Jewish high school graduates. This is reflected in the ability to pass job interviews, admission to studies and success in them.
