    Globes (http://bit.ly/1bdyFw6) reports that without more higher education among the ultra-Orthodox, Israel is projected to fall from 16th to 26th place among OECD-member countries in the average number of years of education among the population, the study states.

    The study analyzed data from the Central Bureau of Statistics on the average number of years of schooling to mirror a valuable average of the total number of years of schooling in the labor force. The analysis scaled back the number of years of schooling among haredim based on conclusions that yeshiva study is less effective in accordance with their economic contribution in the labor market.

    And without a yeshiva Torah education for the million secular Israeli Jewish children there will be no Jewish future. You can bank on that bank of Israel.

    never mind, we need a bill protecting charadim from religious discrimination. Israelis know how to conceal their hatred for frum people and screw them.
    We need a law punishing those who discriminate against frum people before frum people can even get equal foothold in the Israeli work force.
