I must be missing your point here.  It seems to me that if the Bagrut is
worth 20% and the teacher's grade is worth 80% then students will be MORE
motivated to study and do well in school because their schoolwork is going
to count a whole lot more than the exam(s) that they take at the end of the
year.
