[etni] fw: J.Post article last week

Subject: J.Post article last week

I am amazed that nobody has commented on the article which appeared in the Jerusalem Post last week (on page 6!) citing various educational system comparisons. I'm sorry I can't find the article online. But essentially, Israel ranked very low for teachers' salaries but this does not seem a valid comparison because Israel generally may have very low salaries (the other countries were not listed). Israel ranked very low in percentage of students in higher education but how were all those students in "tertiary level" yeshivot counted. But I couldnt think of any reason to question the class size comparisons. Our class size
comparison was abysmal. Why aren't we shouting from the rooftops (or from in front of the Knesset)?
