The bill provides that combat soldiers will be regarded as having the most suitable score in a relevant matter, and that this preference will not be considered discrimination. Higher education institutions will make the necessary adjustments, including budgetary ones, that will allow affirmative action for combat soldiers starting from the 5785 academic year.
