    • Abstract:
      This article discusses Israel's educational system absorbing Ethiopian immigrant pupils, who had little or no formal education and provides a case study of how Israel's political-administrative systems influenced the absorption of immigrant children into the education system. Issues addressed include whether absorption policies provided similar opportunities offered to children of veteran Israeli Jews and how similar or different were educational policies to absorb the immigrant students from the former Soviet Union who arrived after 1988.
