Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill changes the Encouragement of Student Involvement in Social and Community Activity Law (2018) in two respects: first, it reduces the number of reserve duty days required for receiving academic credits from 14 consecutive days to 10 days; second, it allows accumulating reserve duty days even if they were served non-consecutively throughout the academic year. In addition, the bill sets a deduction from tuition of the payment the student would have had to pay for the academic credits they received in exchange for reserve duty during their studies. The provisions apply to students at institutions of higher education who serve in the reserves.
