As well as a commitment to quality in research, education, and professional development, we have a social perception that advocates contributing to the community and educational leadership, while attempting to assist in shaping educational policies based on research evidence. The Faculty of Education welcomes students from all walks of life and sectors, and we assist with subsistence scholarships, excellence scholarships, and personal support for each and every one. Our faculty members participate in steering committees and evaluation committees of the Ministry of Education and local authorities. We take an active part in professional committees, professional committees, and interest groups (SIG) of research organizations in Israel and around the world.
