    International Education Studies; Vol. 13, No. 8; 2020 ISSN 1913-9020 E-ISSN 1913-9039 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education The Case of Druze Society and its Integration in Higher Education in Israel Aml Amer1 & Nitza Davidovitch1 1 Department of Education, Ariel University, Ariel, Israel Correspondence: Nitza Davidovitch, Department of Education, Ariel University, Ariel, Israel, Kiriat Hamada 3, Ariel, Israel. E-mail: [email protected] Received: February 23, 2020 Accepted: April 24, 2020 Online Published: July 23, 2020 doi:10.5539/ies.v13n8p68 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ies.v13n8p68 Abstract In this work, we elaborate on the changes and transformations in the Israeli education system (including higher education) from Israel’s independence in 1948 to 2019. Specifically, the study places special emphasis on developments commencing in 1976 in response to the establishment of a separate administrative division for Druze and Circassian Education in the Ministry of Education, and division’s impact on the rate of youngsters who earn matriculation certificates and the number of Druze students attending higher education institutions. of the study analyzes the administrative separation of Druze education in the education system and its effect on the integration of Druze youngsters in higher education in Israel. The current study contributes to our understanding of the development of the Druze education system as a distinct unit in the Israeli Ministry of Education. The findings of this study and its conclusions will contribute to policymakers in the Ministry of Education in general, and policymakers concerning Druze education specifically, seeking to improve educational achievements and apply the insights of the current study to other minority groups to which higher education has become increasingly accessible in recent years.

  • Legitimizing Ariel University Further Marginalizes Palestinian Rights At
    Legitimizing Ariel University Further Marginalizes Palestinian Rights At a recent ceremony at Ariel University, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, science and technology minister Izhar Shay and US ambassador to Israel David Friedman signed amendments to earlier agreements between the US and Israel that regulate bilateral collaboration in science, technology and agriculture. The opening sentence of the US State Department’s official announcement of the amendments, signed on October 28, declares: “Today, the United States and Israel agreed to remove geographic restrictions” [emphasis added] on the earlier agreements, which date back to the 1970s. Henceforth, joint scientific and technological ventures will be allowed and funded in all territories under Israel’s jurisdiction – in particular, at Ariel University. The announcement includes portions of the American ambassador’s speech, in which he declared: “Upon entry of force of the [amendments] signed here in Judea and Samaria, more Israeli partners will be eligible to receive funding for scientific collaboration in a wide variety of fields. [They] will further strengthen our deep science and technology ties and help promote economic security for both our countries.” These seductive words hide an ugly reality. Nowhere mentioned in the announcement, or in the various speeches at the signing ceremony, is a recognition that Ariel University was built on land in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT), in violation of international law forbidding an occupying power to resettle its population into the occupied land and dispossess the local population.i Palestinians are barred from entering the settlement of Ariel and its university.Ariel University was established by a decree of the Israeli Defence Forces in 1982 as the College of Judea and Samaria and was accorded university status in 2012.

  • Ten Years with Netanyahu – Maintaining Israel, the Conflict
    INTERNATIONAL POLICY ANALYSIS Ten Years with Netanyahu Maintaining Israel, the Conflict – and Himself DAHLIA SCHEINDLIN January 2017 n Benjamin Netanyahu’s political success has been paved by the Israeli public’s per- ception of imminent existential destruction. Did his dichotomic worldview and his »fortress Israel« mentality create or merely leverage the public’s fears? n In the name of existential security, Netanyahu has justified the deterioration in the Palestinian-Israel conflict, which masquerades as stagnation. His fixation on Iran during two of his recent three terms as Prime Minister has distracted from a lack of policy on the local conflict. n Netanyahu has implemented a clear course of free market economics, which has generated some respectable macroeconomic indicators, but at the expense of mas- sive socio-economic gaps. n Since his re-election in 2015, Netanyahu has concentrated power and portfolios in his hands and has perpetuated earlier efforts to erode Israel’s civil society. He has targeted the press, his ideological opponents in the NGO sector, and Israel’s Arab-Palestinian minority. n In order to temper growing nationalism and democratic erosion, Israel should take genuine steps towards conflict resolution, place checks on unfettered free market principles, and end the aggression against independent civil society, opposition groups, and minorities.

  • Regulation, Globalization, and Privatization Of
    Journal of International Education Research – Third Quarter 2014 Volume 10, Number 3 Regulation, Globalization, And Privatization Of Higher Education: The Struggle To Establish A University In Israel Nitza Davidovitch, Ariel University, Israel Yaacov Iram, Bar Ilan University, Israel ABSTRACT The foundations of higher education in Israel were established in the 1920’s with the opening of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1925, after numerous difficulties and opponents were overcome. Not only were the pioneers of higher education plagued by these difficulties, it appeared that they were an integral element in the history of every other institution that has since sought recognition as a university in Israel. Every institution that sought to penetrate the gates of the ivory tower has encountered fierce opposition and the perpetual argument that Israel needs no more universities. Surprisingly, each time, the heads of the existing universities stood at the forefront of such opposition. Any attempt to establish a new university prompted them to issue warnings about the dangers inherent in establishing yet another institution of higher education in Israel. Recently, on December 24, 2012, Israel’s ninth university, Ariel University, was declared. This was the first university established since the 1970’s. This paper examines the changing nature of arguments (financial, political, academic, or other) against establishment of new universities in Israel and explores the criteria for an institution to be recognized as a university. To address these and other issues, we first review the regulatory approach of Israel’s higher education system and illustrate the traditional opposition against establishment of universities in Israel using the case of Ariel University.

  • Tel Aviv University Is Not the Same As Ariel University
    Tel Aviv University is not the same as Ariel University With the debate heating up in the US regarding academic boycotts of Israel (see the NY Times’ Dec. 17 report on the resolution approved by the American Studies Association, and today’s report in Haaretz citing the sharp criticism by the Association of American Universities of the ASA’s boycott call), we share below the letter on the subject submitted to the NY Times last week by our Vice President, Prof. Leonard Grob. Unfortunately, the only two Jewish organizational responses published by the Times both came from the older, ‘mainstream’ establishment and offered comments that were almost identical. Regrettably, the Times made no room for a more nuanced or alternative perspective. Prof. Grob’s letter reads as follows: In “Boycott by Academic Group Is a Symbolic Sting to Israel”(front page, Dec. 17), Richard Pérez-Peña and Jodi Rudoren conflate two very different boycott initiatives: the wholesale boycott of all things Israeli, promoted by the Global BDS movement, but opposed by almost all Israelis, supporters of Israel, and even the Palestinian political leadership; and the selective boycott of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank. The former is too often a tool used to unjustly target Israel’s very existence, while the latter correctly distinguishes between Israel’s legitimacy within its pre-1967 borders and the illegitimacy of its occupation beyond this ‘Green Line’. This selective boycott enjoys growing support from those Israelis and American supporters of Israel who seek a two- state solution that will allow Israel to continue to exist as a democracy.

  • The Case for Academic Boycott Against Israel
    The Case for Academic Boycott against Israel Reference Material in Support of Palestinian and International Academic Boycott Campaigns Working Document Compiled by he Alternative Information Center (AIC) www.alternativenews.org 1 INTRODUCTION The Case for Academic Boycott against Israel is an initial compilation of facts documenting the discriminatory practices implemented by the Israeli academic system, as well as this system’s active and ongoing involvement in the occupation of the Palestinian territories. Through this document, the Alternative Information Center (AIC) aims to support the Palestinian and international academic boycott campaigns with concrete facts and details proving that not only have Israeli academic institutions not publicly condemned Israel’s occupation, but that these very institutions are themselves part and parcel of Israel’s colonial system of oppression against the Palestinians. The Case for Academic Boycott against Israel provides specific and documented examples of how Israel’s academic institutions discriminate against Palestinian citizens of Israel by restricting their enrollment; persecuting them for political involvement; gagging their freedom of expression and actively working to keep international students away from their towns and villages, amongst others. It further highlights how several of the institutions are themselves part of Israel’s settlement project, being located in the West Bank, founded on the ruins of a demolished Palestinian village or expanding onto Palestinian-owned land illegally
