The IDF's Chief Reserve Officer has requested additional academic concessions for students serving in the reserves, but academic institutions have rejected the demand. Heads of academic institutions argued that further reducing credit points would "severely harm degrees." The Student Union also acknowledged that lowering credit points "could harm entry into the job market."
It is anticipated that at the start of the academic year, students serving in the reserves will attend less frequently due to the workload. The Chief objective is to encourage academic institutions to provide as many concessions as possible.
Further discussions regarding concessions for reservists and advance notice before exams are ongoing. The Council for Higher Education's framework for the war also addresses the impact on the studies of the partners of reservists.
