‘Israel’s Education Minister Naftali Bennett says that learning about the Jewish faith is more important than studying mathematics and science. He made the statement after the government dropped demands for ultra-Orthodox schools to teach core subjects.
“Learning about Judaism and excellence in the subject is more important in my eyes than mathematics and the sciences,” said Bennett, “and it is hard for me to say that,” he added, as cited by the Times of Israel.
Bennett’s comments come as the Israeli government dropped its demand that ultra-Orthodox schools should teach core subjects like math and science in order to receive extra funding from the state.’
