Tabeetha School, Jaffa

Democracy Day In March Grade 9 and some of the Grade 12 pupils participated in a Democracy day held at our partner school, Yironi Dalet High School in Tel Aviv. The point of the trip was to learn about democracy and the upcoming general elections in Israel. The students had a chance to hear from representatives from different political parties, ask questions and learn about democracy in Israel, electoral process and what the different parties stood for. They also had the opportunity to vote as part of the election simulations and got a surprise visit by the former Minister of Education, Naftali Benet. This event was part of a Mako TV (Channel 2) project called “Young Voters” .
