Students in Bnei Akiva institutions in Judea and Samaria outperform parallel institutions
Ministry of Education data for the 5784 school year reveals that nine out of 10 Bnei Akiva network institutions in Judea and Samaria significantly outperform similar schools in matriculation eligibility rates.
Ministry of Education data reveals a striking picture of the education system in Judea and Samaria. Nine out of 10 institutions of the Bnei Akiva network operating in the region show significantly higher matriculation eligibility rates than educational institutions with similar population characteristics and socio-economic backgrounds.
The comparison, based on 5784 school year data, shows clear gaps between the network's institutions and parallel schools. At the Bnei Akiva Ulpana in Rosh Tzurim, the matriculation eligibility rate stands at 100%, compared to 78% in similar institutions.
Significant gaps were also recorded in other institutions throughout Judea and Samaria. At the Bnei Akiva Yeshiva in Mateh Binyamin, the eligibility rate is 98% compared to 78% in similar schools. Additionally, the Bnei Akiva Ulpana in Shilo recorded an impressive 96% matriculation eligibility rate, compared to 78% in similar institutions.
Connection to Torah and Excellence
High eligibility rates compared to similar institutions were recorded in a long list of other schools across the region: Bnei Akiva Yeshiva Orot Yehuda in Efrat, Bnei Akiva Yeshiva Eli, Bnei Akiva Yeshiva Kinor David in Ateret, Bnei Akiva Ulpana Shirat HaYam in Halamish, Bnei Akiva Ulpana Neria, and Bnei Akiva Yeshiva Hashmonaim.
Elhanan Glatt, CEO of the Bnei Akiva Yeshivot and Ulpanot Center, addressed these achievements:
"It is a great privilege to see the fruits of the hard work in the network's institutions in Judea and Samaria, which operate in the heart of a region with deep historical, national, and moral significance. From our perspective, academic excellence does not stand on its own, but goes together with a connection to the Torah, the people of Israel, and the Land of Israel, and with the responsibility to raise a generation that believes in itself, aims high, and seeks to contribute to the entire Israeli society."
