Politics and Policy-Making in Israel's Educational System
Haim Gaziel
Author text to follow
This is the first comprehensive book in English to describe and
analyse the structure of Israel’s educational system from
a political and policy-making perspective. It has been written in
response to academicians’ demands for a clear understanding
of how education policy in Israel is shaped by the political agenda
and the fluid balance of power between vested political interests
in education policy. … The main actors in the formation
of educational policy are described in detail: the roles of political
parties, the teachers’ unions, parents’ unions, local
authorities and the Ministry of Education and Culture are discussed. … By describing the link of politics
to education in Israel in terms of current, western models it allows
comparisons between different national systems, thereby highlighting
the specific strains and problems that have to be overcome as a
result of secular/religious dichotomies.
