The government approved an additional NIS 100 million for informal education, allocating funds to youth movements, service year programs, preparatory programs, student villages, and educator groups.
The cabinet approved the additional NIS 100 million for informal education at its weekly meeting in Jerusalem. The funding covers youth movements, the pre-army 'service year,' preparatory programs including the 'Ofek' pre-military academies, university-affiliated student villages, and educator-led groups.
As The Zioneer reported at 15:48, the cabinet earlier in the day unanimously approved a NIS 4 billion supplementary development plan for the north. The education allocation is a separate decision within the broader budget framework.
The approved increase adds to existing informal-education budgets, which typically supplement the formal school system. No breakdown of the allocation per program category was provided in the announcement.
