Mandatory core curriculum as a funding condition, teacher pay based on merit rather than seniority, and increased investment in higher education and research.

Full freedom of choice in education: a voucher that transfers public funding to parents to choose their child's school, and breaking the Ministry of Education's monopoly on the school system.

Miluimnikim–Economic

The Economic Party

Official website

Shrinking classes to 18 students and reducing teaching hours, giving school principals autonomy, and introducing mandatory financial education from elementary school.

The Reservists

Official website

A narrow position, mostly tied to service conditions: education funding conditioned on participation in service, and strengthening education in border communities — the platform doesn't present a comprehensive education program (teacher pay, class size, higher education).
