The Taub Center Education Policy Program examines the education budget and its allocation, the quality of education provided to the citizens of tomorrow, and the gaps between students in various segments of the population as well as ways to narrow them. It also monitors important developments and events, such as the pandemic and its effect on the education system. The research carried out by the Taub Center in education has in recent years focused on, among other things, special education, gaps in academic achievement, high school dropouts, the shortage of teachers, implementation of the Compulsory Education Law from the age of three, teacher training, higher education, and the Bagrut (high school matriculation) exams.
