Pupils' Rights Law (Amendment – Issuance of Matriculation Certificates) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק זכויות התלמיד (תיקון - הנפקת תעודות בגרות)

TL;DRA proposal to legislate an obligation for the Ministry of Education to issue matriculation certificates no later than two months after the matriculation exam.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill sets that the Ministry of Education will be required to deliver matriculation certificates to students no later than two months after the last matriculation exam was held, in every exam period (summer, winter or the second sitting). Responsibility for delivering the certificates will rest with the educational institution where the student completed their studies. The purpose of the bill is to allow students who finish matriculation exams to register for academic studies without delay, lest they lose a whole academic year.
