Israel has developed into one of the leading countries in the fields of science, technology, medicine and agriculture and has cultivated a diverse and thriving society. But unfortunately Israel has also become one of the leading countries regarding scholastic disparities. The place of Israel in the life of the Jewish people is at a crucial, historical turning point.

| A country that once boasted being in the top 5 world-wide regarding literacy, is facing some very troubling statistics with regard to the serious decline in Israel’s education system: only 40% of students pass their matriculation exams; in a recent national exam, 50% of 8th graders failed math and 29% failed reading comprehension. |
| |
| There is a clear decline in student's knowledge from year to year. The gap between what they should know and what they do know is widening at an overwhelming pace. |
