I should. however. like to be specific in one area where the accomplishments of Israel have been particularly notable. This Is the field -of education. which is the means whereby this new state has welded a diverse population of many national origins into a united whole. Despite the heavy burden which unlimited immigration. extensive development programs. and essential expenditures for defense have placed upon the economy. a complete educational system from free and compulsory elementary schools to universities which have received world recognition has been created. From a total school enrollment of about 130.000 in the school year 194849. the educational system now handles between 650.000 and 700.000 students per year. Children are permitted to attend either religious or general schools at the discretion of their parents. both of which are financed by the government for all children between the ages of 5 and 14.
