Twenty-one AMIT schools made it onto the Education Ministry’s list of outstanding schools for the 2018 school year, which was published on Wednesday.
The list includes 292 high schools (out of 733 contenders) that were judged on their academic, social, and values-based achievements. The ministry looked at each school’s bagrut rates, dropout rates, special education inclusion, army enlistment and national service rates, and year-to-year improvement.
The 292 outstanding schools will each receive a performance-based reward ranging from $850 to $2,250 depending on their ranking.
Education Minister Naftali Bennett congratulated all of the schools on the list. “The effort and investment made in each and every student is the essence of educational work,” he said. “We are heading into a new school year knowing that the best people are taking care of Israel’s most precious resource: our children. We will continue to cultivate the education of the future generation and move the State of Israel forward.”
Shmuel Abuav, the Education Ministry’s director general, said that among the ministry’s main goals are education toward values, involvement in the community, reducing the dropout rate, and more in-depth learning. “The schools that won this award are leading our education system forward, toward growth and prosperity,” he said, congratulating the outstanding teachers and principals at all of the schools.
