Post-2000 Law-based
Educational Governance in
Israel: From Equality to
Diversity?
Dan Gibton
Abstract
This article analyses patterns of post 2000 governance in Israel’s education system.
Drawing upon
literature on educational regimes, governance in neo-liberal societies (for example, the UK and the
USA), law-based educational reform and policy analysis, this study sets out to inquire how Israel’s
system was governed with minimal legislation for 60 years.
The main theme that emerges is that,
although the forces that govern Israel’s landscape are similar to those in many post-industrialist
western countries, the processes are quite different due to lack of decisive school reform, thus
offering potential for a diverse setting, but with increasing distance from former equalizing and
de-segregative vigour that portrayed the system in the past.
