This publication is intended to provide readers with a broad perspective on education in Israel, based on the findings of participants in a two-week study mission to Israel. Part 1 consists of 17 short reports on various topics related to Israeli education. The majority of these reports deal with educational planning, policy, evaluation, and research; other reports focus on community and parent involvement, language policy, Arab education, instructional television, Sephardic-Ashkenazi differences, and women's status. Part 2 contains 18 brief reports by members of the study group on selected site visits in Israel and meetings with Israeli government officials and educational leaders. A copy of the study group's itinerary is also included. (Author/JG)
