"The Integration of Arab Teachers in Jewish Education"

A new study on "The Integration of Arab Teachers in Jewish Education" was published recently. The study was  conducted by the Institute of Feedback (Machon Hizon) LTD. The purpose of the study was to map the integration of Arab teachers in Jewish education and to identify both barriers and opportunities for their integration into the system. The findings indicate that in places where Arab teachers were integrated, there was great success and satisfaction. However, there is no clear policy regarding the inclusion of teachers in the system. The study also found that the number of Integrated Arab teachers has doubled in recent years, but these are still very small numbers.
