The Solution
The Educational Pioneer Program - ׳Halutz׳ locates and trains quality educators to become school directors and obtain other leadership positions in Israeli schools.
The program’s framework aims on young educators with high social awareness and a strong sense of motivation, to act upon empowering schools which are located in the social and geographic periphery of Israel in order to turn it into ground-breaking innovative schools.
The program trains educators (or pioneers) over a five-year period that include professional development and the formalization of an educational vision.
By the end of the process, the pioneers will have satisfied the requirements to become school directors
