Twelve religious girls' schools (ulpanot) have adopted the Haredi matriculation exam, dropping Zionist history and civics studies, according to a report. The move is intended to allow their graduates to be accepted into separate institutions.
The report indicates that the schools are opting for the Haredi track in order to meet admission requirements of separate religious institutions, which do not recognize the standard matriculation. The development reflects a growing trend among religious-Zionist schools to adopt Haredi educational frameworks, raising questions about the future of shared civic curriculum in Israel's education system.
