Israeli Knesset Approves Gender Segregation in Advanced Academic Degrees
The Israeli Knesset has definitively approved a bill proposed by Member of Knesset Limor Son Har-Melech from the Otzma Yehudit party, allowing gender segregation in advanced academic degrees. The bill passed with 52 votes in favor and 43 against. Currently, the Council for Higher Education permits gender-segregated study tracks only for bachelor's degrees under specific conditions. The new legislation clarifies that this allowance extends to master's and doctoral degree programs as well. The bill's explanatory notes emphasize that this change aims to accommodate students who, due to their religious beliefs, avoid mixed-gender academic settings, enabling them to pursue advanced degrees in a wider range of fields.
