Education

 

 

Education, in all its forms, is essential for bridging inequality gaps, developing capabilities and promoting excellence. It drives individual social mobility, while helping to maximize the human potential on which Israel’s future growth and prosperity depend.

Our initiatives in the field of education focus on proven mobility enablers: ensuring optimal development in early childhood, enhancing abilities with an emphasis on tech literacy, and advancing informal education as a channel for developing life skills: emotional resilience, social capital, a sense of agency, and more.
