Israel: Place of Startups from universities!
Universities in israel are not just places of study, but also places to start new businesses. The colleges there do research and create things that can earn money. Israeli universities have a deep connection with the defense sector. The education there is such that students not only get knowledge of different subjects, but they are also taught the tricks of starting a business. Apart from this, every university has a special office, which helps in converting research into business.
In israel, the Ministry of education decides what will be taught to the children. Schools do not have much freedom in this. Studies run from september to July, 6 days a week. Studies are free in israel, but some books etc. have to be bought by yourself. 2 years of nursery school and 8 years of primary school studies are mandatory.
After 10th, there is 4 years of study. But only the first 2 years of study are mandatory, the remaining 2 years are your choice. After 10th you have 3 options:
Academic High School: If you want to go to college, you can choose this school
Comprehensive High School: In this, you get a chance to learn work along with studies
Vocational High School: If you want to learn a special skill, like engineering or science, then you can choose this school.
In vocational school, you are taught things that are useful in real life. These schools have good labs and other facilities, so that you can learn well. To go to college in israel, you have to pass a special exam, which is called Bagrut. This exam is held after 12th and only after passing it, you can take admission in college.
