"Key Liberal Democracy Chapters Cut From Israel's Civics Exam, While Nationalist Content Is Boosted"
"Israel's Education Ministry has decided that in the civics matriculation exams ("bagrut") for the academic year beginning this week, students will not be tested on topics related to liberal democratic principles, socio-economic rights, the legal status of the Declaration of Independence, or the importance of a constitution as a check on government power."
Among the excluded topics is the subject of the constitution, which ordinarily teaches students about the role of constitutional frameworks in safeguarding human rights and limiting governmental authority. In addition, the legal status of the Declaration of Independence has been removed from the exam focus. In contrast, the Nation-State Law and the chapter on nationalism and the nation-state remain part of the required material.
Utdrag:
Just last week, the Education Ministry summoned several school principals for a hearing after they called for an end to the war and the return of the hostages. As a result, more and more teachers are afraid to bring current events into the classroom, fearing they will be perceived as political.
Kommentar:
Her skal undervisningen tilpasses den politiske agenda til Netanyahu-regjeringen.
