ABSTRACT

Bringing Order to Chaos? Educational Policy in Israel in the Postmodern Era

Abraham Yogev

Claiming that educational policy in Israel has been profoundly influenced by the postmodern era, this article discusses its major sociological dimensions. It then focuses on the influence of these dimensions with regard to the three school levels and the growing social divisions within the Israeli education system. The article argues that educational policies must be developed that provide some coherent answers to the chaotic features of postmodernity.
