15 percent of high school graduates rejected by university
Haaretz - August 23, 2004
According to a study released Monday by the Adva Center for Information
on Equality and Social Justice in Israel, 15 percent of students who
passed their matriculation exams did not meet requirements for
acceptance to universities.
The institute surveyed those who passed the bagrut matriculation exams
and is based on data provided by the Ministry of Education.
Since 1997, there has been a consistent rise in the number of students
who passed their bagrut yet failed to reach the requisite requirements
for university acceptance, the study reveals.
The percentage of eligible students who failed to gain entry into
university rose from 13.8 percent in 1997 to 15.4 percent in 2003,
while the percentage of overall students who passed their matriculation
rose from 41.4 percent in 1999 to 46.8 percent in 2003. Hence, only 39.6
percent of students in the education system will be able to attend an
institute of higher learning.
