For Israel as a whole, only about 20% of the Arab population age 15 and over has attained tertiary education compared to about 45% for the Jewish population (Figure 2.1). The younger age group of Arabs is increasingly better educated, but the gap between the Arab and Jewish population aged 25-34 remains stark (Figure 2.2). If strong measures are not taken to revise this trend and with the global shift towards a more knowledge-based economies, in 10-15 years Galilee’s labour force will see an influx of young workers who lack the appropriate skills that are needed in the economy. While educational outcomes of the Arab population are improving, they still lag behind those of the Jewish population even in the younger cohorts.
