Education minister halts international assessment tests, risks Israeli exclusion

Israel risks exclusion from international benchmarking tests after Education Minister Ben-Zion Ben-Eliezer suspended participation in dozens of assessment programmes. The Shin Bet director and RAM chief warned in letters to the Education Ministry’s legal adviser that the decision is disproportionate and could damage thousands of schools. Officials claim the suspension extends the closure of Palestinian police training and reconstruction efforts in Gaza beyond the elections.
