Denial of Budgeting to Educational Institutions That Discriminate Against Students in Admission (Legislative Amendments) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק שלילת תקצוב מוסדות חינוך המפלים תלמידים ברישום אליהם (תיקוני חקיקה)

TL;DRA proposal to deny state funding to educational institutions that discriminate against students in their admission or registration because of their ethnic origin.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends three existing laws (the Compulsory Education Law, the State Education Law and the Pupils' Rights Law) and states that an educational institution found to be violating the prohibition on discrimination under the Pupils' Rights Law - especially when it refuses to register students because of their ethnic origin - will be denied the state's participation in its budget. The explanatory notes refer to cases in which educational institutions of various types refused to register students for reasons of ethnicity and origin.
