CBS Poll: Muslims And Bedouins Are Fonder Of Israel’s Public Schools Than Jews


1The Israeli public schools are scheduled to open this Thursday, September 1, 2016 for the new school year. the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) conducted a poll to determine just how fond Israelis are of the state’s education system. The poll, which was released on Sunday, 24 Menachem Av, reveals only 7% of the respondents view the system being “very good” and 38% rate it “good”. However, 36% gave it a “not so good” rating while 12% feel it is “not good at all”. Hence, we see the disappointment lies within the Jewish community as 74% of Bedouins and 67% of Muslims rates the school system positively.

The poll also reveals that 38% of the students attend private tutoring for additional study aid.
