Should core studies be required in every school funded by the state budget?
Core studies as a funding condition
Every child is entitled to basic tools for making a living and for citizenship, and a school that does not teach them should not be funded
The community's right to educate
The Haredi community has the right to educate its children according to its faith, and conditioning funding is coercion of a way of life
Only one vote on conditioning funding on core studies was found in the 25th Knesset, so the placement here rests mainly on platforms and statements.
"Said" is the platform, and statements and posts by the list's candidates. "Did" is plenum votes, bills and recorded acts in the 25th Knesset. The placement rests on all the evidence together. The votes are the outgoing Knesset's, not the 26th's.

תוך 8 שנים - כלל התלמידים מכיתה א' עד י"ב ילמדו לימודי ליבה מלאים.
Translation: “Within 8 years - all students from 1st to 12th grade will study full core studies.”
The parliamentary record here is that of the Yesh Atid faction in the 25th Knesset. Naftali Bennett's party did not sit in the 25th Knesset, so part of the current list is not represented in the voting data.

נבטל את המעמד המיוחד של רשתות החינוך החרדיות ונפסיק לתקצב אותן. כסף ציבורי לא צריך ללכת למוסדות בבעלות מפלגות שלא מלמדות מתמטיקה, אנגלית ואזרחות, מחנכות להשתמטות מהצבא ומקיימות אפליה על בסיס עדתי.
Translation: “We will abolish the special status of the Haredi education networks and stop funding them. Public money should not go to institutions owned by parties that do not teach math, English and civics, that educate toward dodging the army and that practice discrimination on an ethnic basis.”

אני אומר שמסורת יותר חשובה מלימודי ליבה. שכל הורה יחנך את הילד שלו איך שהוא רוצה ואנחנו ניתן לו תקציב מלא
