An investigative report reveals how Israel’s education ministry under former Minister of Education Yoav Kisch suppressed critical data on school performance rather than addressing systemic failures. Internal documents show efforts to downplay academic underachievement, particularly among disadvantaged students, by manipulating statistics and delaying reforms. Critics argue the move reflects a broader pattern of avoiding accountability in public education, leaving structural problems unresolved. The exposé raises questions about transparency and leadership in Israel’s education system.
