Israeli Attorney General Conditions Ultra-Orthodox Education Funding on Core Curriculum Compliance
The Israeli Attorney General has responded to a petition to the Supreme Court regarding funding for the ultra-Orthodox education sector, emphasizing that continued government funding will be contingent on adherence to core educational requirements. Specifically, the Attorney General stated that funding under the principle of 'all children of Israel' will require full compliance with mandatory core curriculum studies as defined by the official state education program.
The response further outlines that ultra-Orthodox educational institutions must employ qualified teaching staff, fully participate in assessment and evaluation systems, cooperate with oversight and enforcement mechanisms, and meet all reporting obligations. These conditions are set to take effect immediately in the current school year.
This move aims to ensure that ultra-Orthodox schools meet basic educational standards while continuing to receive state funding. The issue was brought before the Supreme Court through a petition challenging the funding arrangements for "first floor" studies in ultra-Orthodox education networks.
