From Early Learning to Workforce – The STEM pipeline in Israel
This report aims to provide an overview of the current status of the STEM eco-system and pipeline
in Israel by mapping the main stakeholders and activities, as well each phase of the continuum:
• Kindergarten and elementary school
• Junior high- and high school
• Postsecondary training
• Army
• Higher education
• Workforce and employment
It seeks to examine the warnings of a diminishing scientific and technological reserve force
in Israel, claims about the lack of skilled workforce and the generally inferior level of STEM
literacy in Israeli society. Moreover, this overview is intended to provide insights into trends
and challenges and identify the gaps and opportunities for change.
