Ya'el Padovitz, a 12th-grader, says she is on track to attain 66 matriculation units, which would break the national record. She attributed the achievement to ambition and courage as much as intellect, in remarks reported by Israeli media.
Ya'el Padovitz, a 12th-grader at an Israeli high school, told reporters she is on pace to complete 66 matriculation units (bagrut units) — a figure that would set a new national record. In her comments she stressed that the effort required 'a great deal of ambition and courage,' adding that some students are 'smarter than me.' The record is currently held by students who reached the low-60s range. No official confirmation from the Education Ministry has been published yet; the report is based on an interview with the student herself.
