Encouragement of Military, National or National-Civilian Service in Institutions of Higher Education Bill

What does the bill do?

The proposal provides that candidates who completed military, national or civic-national service will receive priority in admission to studies at institutions of higher education over candidates equal in their qualities and skills. Those who served in combat service will be given priority over any other candidate, including those entitled to appropriate representation. In addition, a candidate who completed service will receive an addition of 5 percent to their matriculation (bagrut) and psychometric scores, or 10 percent if they completed combat service.
