Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Student Rights Law to add affirmative action for candidates who served in active reserve duty, if the service harmed their access to studies. A candidate who served at least 60 days of reserve duty in the year in which they applied will be entitled to preference in admission and registration requirements at institutions in various fields of study, including special study tracks. Educational institutions must allocate a budget to promote access for reservists as a distinct population. The proposal allows institutions to grant additional benefits based on years of service, its length and continuity, provided they are reasonable and proportionate.
