The Israel Center for Excellence through Education is a proud co-sponsor of the education session of the annual Herzliya Conference.
The Herzliya Conference on Israel’s National Strength is the annual “summit meeting” of the most influential Israeli and international leaders, where central issues on the public agenda are raised and discussed by the most prominent leaders in each field. Numerous Herzliya Conference reports and recommendations have been adopted by the Israeli government as official policy.
The Center for Excellence hopes to raise awareness of the incredible potential excellence in education has for Israel’s national strength and future.
2008 Herzliya Conference
"Excellence as a National Value"
The concept stressed at the "Excellence as a National Value" session was:
When Society Promotes Education -
Education Promotes Society.
The session looked at the level of excellence in Israeli society.
In the 60 years since the creation of the state, has our society lost the value of excellence?
Speakers explored the disparity between economic growth, creative and thriving industry - and the continually declining state of education.
If the trend continues, where will the state of Israel be in 20, 30 years?
During the discussion, the Israel Center for Excellence through Education presented a plan to halt the decline.
