This document provides a survey of Israel's plans to increase the number of students in technological and vocational tracks, and in technological schools; and to invest in educational infrastructures, including advanced workshops and laboratories in schools, and regional technology centres. It also describes the ‘Technicians with Matriculation’ (Tech-Mat) programme, the ‘Springboard to Industry’ programme, programmes to develop a cadre of professional teaching staff for technological education, and refresher courses for teachers in cooperation with industry. It includes a proposal to offer special compensation to technology education teachers so that their salaries compete with those in the industrial sector.
