Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigates the educational achievements of the Druze community in Israel. It examines the role of the sectorial separation of Druze education, gathering insights from school principals, supervisors, and students about this structure. Through interviews with educational stakeholders, the research analyses the preparation processes for Druze students' academic pursuits and evaluates the impact of this educational segregation on their success in matriculation exams and higher education integration. The findings indicate that the historical educational separation has positively influenced Druze students' outcomes, with the Druze educational model yielding significantly better results than other Israeli school systems. Key to this success is strategic resource investment, innovative teaching methods, and a strong emphasis on academic excellence. This model presents a viable pathway for enhancing educational achievements among other minority groups both in Israel and globally.
