Education Minister Bennett says the campaign to raise the number of students doing five points in math ‘saved’ the startup nation.
“We did it, we doubled the number of five-unit math students in Israel within three years,” Bennett said. “We were seeing a descent in the number of students, and this was a disaster and we had to change it.”
“We did it and now there are 18,000 students, especially in the periphery – in Shlomi, in Sderot, in Be’er Sheva, in Eilat, that are all doing the highest quality math.”
