Education Minister Kisch orders sweeping overhaul of Israeli school testing after PISA failures. Ami Moyal, I announce that I accept and adopt the report's conclusions and all of its recommendations in full," Kisch said. Education Minister Yoav Kisch speaks with The Jerusalem Post on October 18, 2026. Education Minister Yoav Kisch on Tuesday adopted all the conclusions and recommendations of a professional review by Prof. Ami Moyal of Israel's national school assessment system, ordering a comprehensive overhaul of the country's testing and evaluation framework. Speaking at a meeting of the Education Ministry's senior management, Kisch said the National Authority for Measurement and Evaluation in Education (RAMA) would not be permitted to continue operating as it had previously until the recommendations were implemented. The reform announcement comes amid broader scrutiny of Israel's education system after the country's worst-ever PISA results showed substantial declines in student performance in mathematics, reading, and science.
