Abstract	With access to secondary schools becoming mass-oriented, the universities decided to exercise control on their student intake.... Concurrently with the growing control on admission procedures ... the Israeli higher education system has expanded tremendously in the last 15 years and enrolments have more than doubled between 1981 and 1995.... The purpose of this paper is to examine the dialectical forces that explain both the control and expansion of access to Israel higher education. It is divided into five parts. The first highlights the interrelations between secondary and higher education: it presents the structure and composition of both systems and describes the methods of selection and screening for entry into higher education. The second examines access trends to the university sector: it discusses the unique academic ethos of the universities which explains their ambivalence towards expansion and highlights the functional roles of the Open University of Israel. The third outlines the developments in the non-university sector and focuses on the upgrading of post secondary institutions [private colleges, regional colleges]. The fourth relates to the under-representation of certain strata of Israeli society in secondary and higher education as reflecting both social stratification and social mobility. The paper ends by stressing some major trends in Israeli higher education that are likely to shape its policy and practice of access in the future. (DIPF/Text übernommen).
