Israel Education
(Cont’d. from Page 10)
which concentrates on engineer
ing and the Weizman Institute
of Science at Rehovot which en
gages in pure, and in some cases,
applied research in the exact
sciences.
Special schools have been
established for young Arabs liv
ing in Israel, mainly in the
region of Nazareth where 85 per
cent of the Arab population of
the country is concentrated. In
these schools the Arab children,
Moslem and Christian alike, are
taught in Arabic, Hebrew and
English being regarded as sec
ond languages. The school attend
ance of the boys is very satisfac
tory, being over 90%, but only
50% of girls between the ages of
6 and 14 attend. Even this figure
marks an improvement on the
period prior to the creation of the
State of Israel.
The most interesting part of
Mr. Avidor’s report, however,
deals with the assimilation of
the immigrants. Coming from 60
countries, they speak more than
70 different languages and dia
lects and there was a danger at
one time that the Hebrew lan
guage would be submerged under
the influx of the new arrivals—
some 700,000 in four years. “That
this did not happen,” writes Mr.
Avidor, “was due to two factors:
the multiplicity of languages
which the immigrants brought
with them which forced them to
use one, and, the rapid absorp
tion of children into schools. In
each school the children arrived
speaking a dozen or more lang
uages which made them turn
quickly to a common language—
Hebrew—in order to communi
cate with each other.” For the
Israeli authorities, language is an
essential factor in the integration
process, and the first objective
of the adult education program
me, which is highly developed
all over the country, is to teach
Hebrew to new arrivals. Govern
ment, local authorities, labour
organizations and voluntary bod
ies conduct a number of courses
for adults, most outstanding of
which are five or six-month in
tensive courses in Hebrew in the
so-called “Ulpanim.”
Though Hebrew constitutes a
common denominator of lang
uage, problems still remain to
find a common denominator of
culture for such a heterogeneous
population in such a restricted
area, for, if certain immigrants
came from extremely advanced
countries, others, from the point
of view of customs and techni
ques, have not yet passed beyond
the stage of the Middle Ages.
