Shimon Tobol, Deputy Mayor of Beersheba and a candidate for the Noam Party to the Knesset, has criticized the Israeli state education system for its perceived alienation from Jewish heritage and Zionism. He argues that while Jewish parents throughout history, even in exile, prioritized their children's education in Jewish tradition, the modern Israeli education system fails to meet this need.
Tobol claims that the state education system imposes its directives, limiting parental choice in educational institutions, lacking transparency in curriculum content, and incorporating external programs from foreign organizations. He also points to a scarcity of Bible studies and a general disconnect from heritage and Zionist content.
Parents who seek alternatives outside the official system, Tobol states, face significant budget cuts and are forced to bear high monthly costs per child. He asserts that this situation is unacceptable and that the Noam Party aims to end this injustice.
The party's goal, according to Tobol, is to liberate the Israeli education system and return it to parents and the values of the Jewish people. He draws a parallel to historical Jewish educational institutions like 'Cheder' and 'Melamed' in the diaspora, emphasizing the long-standing parental commitment to traditional Jewish education.
