Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends the 2007 Student Rights Law in order to ease admission requirements for studies at universities and higher education institutions for people serving in the army or in the reserves. The amendment aims to remove barriers to admission to academic studies for soldiers and reservists, on the assumption that their military or reserve service affects their ability to meet standard admission requirements.
