Data released by the Ministry of Education for the 2024-2025 school year reveals a budgetary preference for schools in Israeli settlements and the state-religious education system. Specifically, high school students in Kiryat Arba received 87% more funding than the national average.
The ministry continued its policy in 2025 of prioritizing settlement education over schools within the Green Line.
