 Innovative higher education learning outcomes and financing trends in IsraelGury Zilkha International Journal of Educational Development, 2018, vol. 58, issue C, 128-136 Abstract: Many changes in Israeli higher education have occurred during the last two decades as the country evolved from having less than 20 higher education institutions to having more than 65 institutions. The number of students has risen from about 100,000 to more than 250,000. From a semi-monolithic system that consisted mainly of research universities, the Israeli higher education system developed into a two-tier system. In spite of these dramatic changes, still more than half of the relevant age group cannot pass the academic requirements for admission to higher education. A vibrant academic system should cope with social and economic changes alongside academic issues. This paper analyses the current higher education system in Israel and its historical background. It analyses the main factors that brought structural changes in recent years and outlines the weaknesses of the current system. Finally, it contextualizes the existing educational funding formula and focuses on various socioeconomic indicators that may be combined into a new funding model.
