Vouchers for Completing Basic Education in Informal Education Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק שוברים להשלמת לימודי בסיס בחינוך הבלתי פורמלי

TL;DRA proposal to grant vouchers to students in informal educational institutions that teach basic skills in fields such as mathematics, languages and social integration.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal requires the Minister of Education to establish a committee that approves supplementary education programs in informal education for basic studies. The voucher will constitute 70% of the budgetary gap between a formal educational institution and an unofficial institution, and will be transferred directly to fund courses, extracurricular activities, private lessons and the like. The Ministry of Education must report every year to the Knesset Education Committee on the approved programs, the number of participants, geographic distribution and evaluation findings.
