Tamar Center Negev provides instruction to Bedouin high school students who aim to complete the highest level of matriculation in Math, Physics and English.
According to Ministry of Education data, the percentage of students from the Bedouin sector who take the matriculation exams in the sciences is significantly lower than the national average. As a result, young Bedouin are less likely to attend university, effecting their ability to integrate into the job market and society in general in Israel.
This program collaborates with schools, the community, and students’ parents to prepare a select group of Bedouin high-school students for the matriculation exams.
For four years, from 9th Grade, the students study steadily and diligently at the Tamar Center to develop the tools and proficiencies necessary to be accepted into prestigious universities.
Tamar Center provides a solution for Negev Bedouin youth: narrow the existing disparities and enabling integration in the job market and Israeli society.
