Israeli education minister freezes standardised tests amid dispute

Education Minister Yoav Kisch has frozen standardised assessment tests and established a joint committee between the Education Ministry and the National Authority for Measurement and Evaluation.

The move comes amid conflict with the testing authority head over low student scores and just one week before national elections.
