Reforming Higher Education in Israel

A new paper by Professor Yuval Sinai was published in the quarterly journal HaShiloach, detailing his proposal to reform the oversight system of Israeli academia in a way that allows for better governance while at the same time lessening bureaucracy and encouraging competition.

The paper begins with a review of the current model and points out its failings: lack of governance, excessive bureaucracy, the problematic composition of the governing bodies (the Council for Higher Education and the Planning and Budgeting Committee), discrimination against colleges as compared to universities, and a problematic budget model.

Professor Sinai then conducts comparative research of other models around the world: the federal-decentralized model in the US and Germany; the centralized model in Japan and Singapore; and the mixed model in the UK.

The paper closes with a detailed proposal for reform that includes reducing bureaucracy and the Council’s oversight authorities, adapting the British model to Israel, and introducing a new model for regulating the activities of unsubsidized academic institutions.
