Testimonials

“The program supported me and helped me to enter the field of teaching in a full-time position. Now it’s my turn to prove myself.”

Ishalm Tasu Ababa
Teacher

You helped us put a spotlight on the dilemmas that need to be addressed, to formulate solutions together, and to learn how to derive benefits from diversity. 

Shlomit Meyers
VP of human resources, Golan Plastic

“For me the program was an opportunity to hear a variety of different voices from Israeli society, and to create a common voice that should be heard.”

Alias Mahari
The municipality of Netanya

“The education system removes stereotypes and works to bring a diverse teaching staff. I have no doubt that Israeli society will be in a better place, educationally, ethically and otherwise, the more we see teachers with disabilities in classrooms – as educators and role models. We at the Ministry of Education provide teachers in the program with individual support, technologies and other tools to help their integration. We intent to continue to increase the number of teachers with disabilities and open our doors to everyone who can educate and advance Israel’s students”

Shmuel Abuav
