IAEJ presented a position paper to the Steering Committee on Education on the past and present situation of Ethiopian students in these institutions.

Placing students in this manner was a common absorption strategy resulting in detrimental effects such as limited courses of study available to Ethiopian students, and marginalization of the role of Ethiopian parents in the education process.

Changes have occurred in recent years and a new assessment of the system is in order.
IAEJ has just completed a 32-page report on this issue, and is currently bringing more focus to bear on it in the Knesset, in the Ministry of Education, and in the Ministry of Absorption.
