The ministry is placing particular emphasis on strengthening students’ sense of belonging and resilience, deepening studies of identity and heritage, introducing financial education into the school system, and expanding the use of artificial intelligence in both learning and examinations.  As students return to classrooms, the ministry said it would focus the school year on three areas: belonging and security, identity and roots, and knowledge and tools for coping with a changing world.  “We are opening the year with great responsibility and with a clear direction: to strengthen the sense of belonging and resilience of Israel’s students, deepen identity, values, and heritage, while at the same time giving them the knowledge and tools that will enable them to lead and succeed in a rapidly changing world,” Education Minister Yoav Kisch said.   Herzog wishes for peace for children of northern Israel, Lebanon  Additionally, President Isaac Herzog visited a school in the Galilee, delivering a message to the children there, and indirectly to children in Lebanon too.  "I hope that this whole region will also see days of peace," Herzog said during his visit to the Galilee school.   "I say from here in the Galilee in northern Israel to the children of Lebanon: you deserve peace, and our children deserve peace. For that, we must do everything so that Hezbollah is not here and instead have a border of peace," he added.  Avihai Chiim, Yanir Yagna, and James Genn contributed to this report.
