Israeli Education Minister's Decision to Cancel Student Assessments Sparks Widespread Criticism

Israeli Education Minister's Decision to Cancel Student Assessments Sparks Widespread Criticism

Israeli Education Minister Yoav Kisch has decided to cancel cooperation with the national assessment center RAMA and halt "Metsav" exams, drawing criticism from former officials like Abdullah Khatib. Critics warn this move will impair the ministry's ability to measure student achievement and evaluate school performance. Khatib argued that the decision, made shortly before elections, undermines professional institutions and that RAMA's independent data is crucial for future educational planning and budget allocation. He urged the ministry to reconsider the decision and conduct a professional review.
