Promoting a National STEM Education Continuum

Science, technology, and engineering are the fundamental pillars driving Israel's economic growth and strengthening its resilience. Israel's continued development and global leadership depend on cultivating skilled professionals in these critical fields.

In our STEM-driven economy (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), establishing a coherent national educational pathway—from kindergarten through higher education—is essential. This coordinated approach will enhance the quality of engineering education and create a more effective foundation for developing the skilled workforce Israel needs.

As a leading public academic institution in science and engineering, Afeka serves as a catalyst for national socioeconomic growth and is deeply embedded in the community it serves. We are committed to making STEM fields accessible throughout Israel, with special emphasis on reaching geo-social peripheral communities. Afeka embraces its responsibility to actively participate in all stages of the educational journey, drawing from our experience in implementing transformative, organization-wide educational reforms. Our goal is to build an integrated educational continuum and establish a thriving STEM ecosystem by creating meaningful partnerships among educational institutions, academia, and industry.
