6. Israel, 62.9



Israel’s access to basic knowledge index is 62.9. The adult literacy index here is 56.3, primary school enrollment is at 55.9, secondary school enrollment is at a strong 62.1, while the index for women’s mean years in school is 61.3. The country’s education system is centralized and funded by the state and compulsory education starts during the last year of kindergarten and ends at the 12th grade. There are secular, Arab, and Jewish schools in Israel, and the compulsory education is free but in some cases private funding goes towards the extracurricular activities in schools. Students who want to enroll in science and art schools are required to pay additional fees.
