Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal adds definitions and sections to the State Education Law for the purpose of establishing a state Haredi education stream. It provides that this stream will be equal in status to the other state streams, with independence in setting values and adapted curricula. The proposal orders the establishment of a council for state Haredi education composed mostly of educators from this field, and authorizes it to disqualify appointments of officials on religious grounds. The proposal also amends the registration and guidance sections for students to allow a choice between state Haredi educational institutions and other alternatives, and demands the establishment of Haredi institutions in every education authority that is asked to do so.
