Cancellation of Assessment Exams Sparks Debate Over Student Proficiency

Dr. Sami Mahajneh, a lecturer, criticized the Israeli Ministry of Education's suspension of assessment exams, calling them essential for evaluating the education system.

Mahajneh argued that these exams measure more than just academic scores, assessing crucial skills and school climate. He pointed to data suggesting only 30% of students meet cognitive requirements, making evaluation more critical than ever.
