No more education for democracy

The Dovrat commission, which was appointed to propose reforms for the backward Israeli education system has came up with a new brilliant idea: Cancel the civics matriculation exams. They say they will just turn the external exam into an internal one, but I do tend to agree with the critics who say that this will degrade the subject.

Not only that civics, the only school subject in the Israeli curriculum that deals with democracy is taught only 3-4 hours a week in a single year, now they want to deal another blow to it? I guess this is what the Likud needs to secure its rule. Little education for democracy, much for heritage.
