Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill sets a program to expand core studies in non-state educational institutions (recognized, exempt and culturally unique). Participating institutions will hold assessment exams in coordination with the National Authority for Measurement, and will be eligible for a budget increase according to their level and achievement level. The law applies automatically to every new institution, and also to existing institutions that chose to participate and meet set conditions. The law includes a sunset clause, unless the Knesset decides to extend it.
