Education in Israel begins at a very young age in order to provide children with an augmented head start.

Accorded full academic and administrative freedom, Israel's institutions of higher education are open to all those who meet their academic standards.

Following the tradition of past generations, education continues to be a fundamental value and is recognized as the key to the future.

A wide range of courses sponsored by the Ministry of Education, as well as by public and private institutions, addresses individual needs of adults.

School attendance is mandatory and free from age 6 to 18.
