Interesting question.
In Israel, anyone can go to school from ages 3-19. For preschoolers and kindergarteners, school is mandatory. Students usually have 30 hours of school time per week. Every school year, school would start on September 1st, and for Elementary kids, school would end on June 30th, while Middle and High school would end on June 20th. Compared to schools in Missouri, Ritenour District has everyone released from school on summer break all together on one day; May 26th, close to a whole month from schools in Israel.

Schools in Israel have different grade levels going in different schools. Elementary school includes grades 1-6. Middle school includes 7-9. High school includes 10-12.

Whereas Israel has an average 30 hours of school per week, in Missouri, the average hours of school per week is 33.5 hours.

In the USA, most schools have school buses, where school buses are used everywhere in the USA. However, in Israel there are no school buses that pick up children and drop them off back home.

Since there AREN’T any school buses, children need to compromise a way to get to school. While many walk alone, or with an older sibling or a parent, others take public buses instead, or ride a bike, or just get dropped off by a parent. Precautions are taken into place for students who walk to home and to school. There are workers called “gold guards” who are dressed in yellow vests that help children cross roads. Older kids even get to work that job, as well.

# data[].attributes.body
In Israel, 0.499% of children are actually out of school. However, the percentage in the country right next to it; Jordan, is at 18.666%.

Unfortunately, many websites cannot find data for Israels today literacy rate, but the last time it was updated was in 1983, being at 91.8%.

Below is a look at what students can expect if they are interested in pursuing higher education in Israel.

Top Faculties

Israel is a wonderful country to pursue higher education. It offers high-quality education to its students with a focus on technology and entrepreneurship. In fact, the Middle Eastern country has earned the nickname "Start-up Nation" for having the largest number of start-up companies per capita in the world.

If you are an English-speaking expat, you should have no problem enrolling and studying here as many universities offer their courses in English. The following is an overview of some of the top faculties and areas of study you can pursue in the country.

Accounting⁠

Programs in accounting are offered at several universities, even colleges.

Law

Those who study corporate, contractual, international law, intellectual property will find it easiest to secure jobs afterward. Hebrew is essential to study law in this country as all texts and articles are in Hebrew. Programs are three and a half to four years long. Law programs are available at the university or college level. Admission to the country's top law schools is competitive.

Medicine, Dentistry, Optometry, Nursing, and Pharmacology

Medical programs are usually seven years of study, and admission is competitive. You will need a Psychometric score to apply for medical school and dentistry programs in Israel. At some universities, Israeli citizenship is required for medical school. American students who hold a BA from the US can apply to specific American programs; however, these tend to be more expensive than the Israeli medical programs. The good news is that admission into the American programs is less rigorous.

Unlike other medical professions, for nursing, you must have a high level of Hebrew proficiency to pass the nursing exam. Nursing programs in the country are very hands-on and they include lectures and rotations in different hospital departments. Nursing programs are easier to get into than doctoral ones.

Optometry programs last for two years.

Psychology

In Israel, admission requirements for a BA in psychology are demanding, and they become even more so when applying for an MA. These programs are so rigorous, that many students end up changing career paths. Out of all the specialties, clinical psychology is most difficult. If psychology is something you wish to pursue in Israel, you must be prepared.

Social Work

You may want to consider pursuing an MSW if you wish to stay in Israel and pursue a career in social work. Generally, social work is a low-paying job in Israel, but those with an MSW will receive a higher salary. A social work degree is very hands-on, and by year two, pupils are already working in the field.

MBA

For Anglophone expats, there are American MBA programs (one to two years of study) offered in Israel. However, these are significantly more expensive than Israeli MBA programs.

Hi-Tech

This field of study will guarantee you the highest salaries in Israel. It includes programmers, developers, QA, technical writers, technical support, and hi-tech marketing.

Engineering

Engineers are in high demand in Israel, so this is a field of study worth pursuing if you plan on staying and working there. Engineering positions are also on the higher end of the salary scale. Consider electrical and hardware engineering.

Speech, Physical, and Occupational Therapy

Hebrew language skills will be vital if you decide to become a therapist in this country. Therefore, knowing Hebrew is an essential criterion for therapy programs here. Programs are competitive and require high test scores.

Graphic Design

Web and graphic design courses are offered at colleges across the country. You can truly choose any school and program because it will be your impressive portfolio, skill, and talent that will count in the end when working in this field.

Non-Profit Management

Several universities in Israel offer MA degrees in Non-profit Management. Programs are hands-on and include a combination of organizational theory and practical management classes.

How Much Does it Cost for International Students to Study in Israel?

University tuition fees in Israel depend entirely on the program and university on which you settle. For a full year of studies in a Master's program, international students can expect to pay anywhere between 36,930 and 110,800 ILS (10,612-31,839 USD).

For both undergraduate and postgraduate programs, international students will pay somewhere in the range of 28,000 to 52,500 ILS (8,046-15,087 USD).

Visa Requirements

If you plan on studying in Israel for more than three months, you will need a student visa which will last one year. If your academic studies are longer than this, you will have a new student visa issued to you. To apply for your student visa at your nearest Israeli consulate, you will need:

passport;

completed visa application form;

return ticket or itinerary;

two current passport photos;

original letter of acceptance from your institution;

bank statement proving you have sufficient funds to support yourself during your study period;

notarized letter from parents/guardians allowing them to travel (for students under 18 years);

processing fee.

The processing time for your student visa will be about two weeks.

School actually starts on Sunday instead of Monday, leaving the "weekends" on Friday and Saturday.

In Israel, instead of saying "Mrs. Thomas", you'd call your teacher by their first name. Just like saying their last name shows a sign of respect in America, calling a teacher by their first name also shows respect in Israel.
