Ultra-Orthodox Students to Outnumber Secular in Israel by 2030

A study by Eli Morgenstern predicts that by 2030, ultra-Orthodox students will outnumber secular Jewish students in Israel's first-grade classes. This shift is driven by a decline in secular enrollment and a rise in ultra-Orthodox enrollment, with similar trends observed in kindergartens. The research suggests over half of Israeli children will be educated outside the Zionist framework by 2030. Morgenstern advocates for integrating ultra-Orthodox students into the state education system to foster national unity and prevent societal fragmentation.
