TL;DRA proposal to set up an education voucher system for students in informal educational institutions that teach supplementary core-skills programs.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill aims to promote the teaching of core skills in informal education for students in institutions that do not teach the full core curriculum. The bill sets up a three-member committee (a representative of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance and the public involved in informal education) that will approve supplementary core programs and set voucher values at 70% of the difference between the average budget per student in a given institution and per student in official educational institutions. The vouchers will be given to students in recognized informal educational institutions whose budget is lower than that of official institutions, to fund courses and classes in core skills. The Ministry of Education will report annually to the Knesset Education, Culture and Sports Committee on the implementation of the programs and will conduct research to evaluate the program.
