Israel: Unreasonable Student Demands

Categories: Middle East & North Africa, Israel, Education, Protest

Israeli blogger Imshin is disgusted [1] with the ‘unreasonable’ demands by Israeli students enrolled in subsidized universities. “So what we have here is one of the strongest segments of society, who are behaving like spoilt brats, violently demanding that the state continue to heavily subsidize them. The state is suggesting, via the Shochat committee, that they pay more, but are able to take loans so that they can pay for their education over an extended period. The state is also suggesting that more people will be eligible for grants and scholarships. And that people who are studying for highly paid professions, such as, I suppose, accountancy, will pay higher university tuition. In return, the state will increase the university budgets.
It all sounds extremely fair to me,” writes the blogger.
