Only 134 students of Ethiopian origin studied mathematics at the highest, 5-point level. This represents about 4.8 percent of all Ethiopian Israeli 12th graders in high schools, while among Jewish high school students in general, 21 percent take the 5-point matriculation exam. These figures come from a new study of the gaps in educational achievement between Ethiopian Israelis and their peers.
The study – conducted by Dr. Svetlana Chachashvili-Bolotin, Dr. Ravit Talmi-Cohen and Lior Yohanani of the Institute for Immigration and Social Integration at the Ruppin Academic Center – also found that despite an improvement in eligibility for matriculation certificates in recent years, there are still big differences between this group and the others, especially in the more prestigious subjects such as 5-point math, sciences and English.
