Abstract | This article investigates the factors Israeli parents gave as paramount reasons for enrolling their children in a private international school in Israel. A survey and personal interviews were administered to parents designated as host country nationals by school admissions records. Findings revealed that while an English-language education was looked upon as an added benefit for their children's future success in a global context, it was not a main concern. Parents viewed the discord between their own cultural values and those taught at local schools as a significant factor pushing them away from public-sector education, as well as a curriculum perceived as weak, inadequate teacher preparation, poor administrative responses to violence, insufficient classroom discipline and an unwillingness of teachers in public schools to attend to students' individual needs. (Contains 3 tables.) (As Provided). |
