ABSTRACT
A review of the changes in curriculum planning in Israel from the establishment of the state to the present day shows a shift from a uniform curriculum to a multifaceted one. This development largely reflects sociocultural processes that have occurred in Israeli society and their influence on the educational system (Harrison, 1994; Sabar & Silberstein, 1998). In light of these social processes, curriculum planning in the third millennium will create new interrelationships between the compulsory elements dictated by the central authorities and those elements that are open to variability and reflect the range of educational and cultural interests in Israel. A historical survey of the development of curriculum planning in Israel since its establishment reveals this trend.
