Ethiopian Student, Meeting Point of ethiopian students.
According to Hakol Hinuch's executive director, Rabbi Shay Piron, only a few weeks ago the private schools had demanded 100 percent of children of Ethiopian origin. Much of the funding they are entitled to according to the counselor. “From 2006, the Chinese government decided to boost the number of government scholarships for Africa from the then 2,000 per year to 4,000 by 2009. As a long-term cooperation partner, Ethiopia will be a major beneficiary to this initiative,” he added. They warn that just as it did in April, this crisis could lead to mass protests in higher learning institutions throughout the country, bringing higher education in Ethiopia to a virtual standstill. In response, Yigal Amitay, representing the private Darchei Noam school belonging to the Zionist ultra-Orthdox system, with a student body of 600, said the school had accepted 14 Ethiopian-Israeli students. "As for the coming year, we will accept anyone who suits the Torah-focused atmosphere and the intensive level of studies at the school. All students the city refers to us will be examined," Amitay said. Student
