Israeli Minister of Education Yoav Kisch has ordered the suspension of the national "Tnuva" assessment exams and halted the operations of the National Authority for Measurement and Evaluation in Education ("Rama") within the ministry. This decision is in effect until reforms to the measurement and evaluation system are completed.
Gal Alon, Director General of the National Authority for Measurement and Evaluation in Education, warned in a letter to the Ministry of Education's legal advisor that the minister's decision could lead to the suspension of approximately 40 educational studies and surveys. This could also disrupt Israel's participation in the international "TIMSS" test for mathematics and science, with repercussions for thousands of schools.
The Ministry of Education stated that international tests and studies will continue under the supervision of a steering committee, despite the ongoing dispute over the implications of the minister's directive.
