SHAS Party withdrawn, and the fund for maintaining cleanliness will continue to operate under the responsibility of the Ministry of Environmental Protection
The fund for maintaining cleanliness would not be transferred to the control of the Ministry of the Interior.
Now the Ministry of Environmental Protection will have to prove that it can manage the fund in a way that serves the aims and the objectives of the fund.
An analysis of the municipal waste management policy in Israel in 2007-2022 shows that the activities of the fund failed in significantly reducing the amount of waste transferred to landfills during this period, despite the sharp increase in the levy paid by the local authorities.
The analysis was conducted by Prof. Ofira Ayalon and Dr. Shira Daskal, from the Samuel Neaman Institute.
The analysis was published and presented at a conference on waste management held on 22/2/2023 by the Dan Cities Association for Sanitation.

And many thanks to the members of the Academy
Last month, Professor Rachelle Alterman, an expert in urban planning and law, was elected member of the Israel National Academy of Sciences. In an interview, she discussed why she believes residential towers are problematic, her involvement in founding the feminist movement in Israel, and why her son, actor Edan Alterman, did notreceived allowance in his childhood
Unconventional collaborations between academia and industry for enhanced creativity
The partnership between academia and industry is essential for promoting innovation and increasing productivity. How can this cooperation be mutually beneficial?
As reported by the Samuel Neaman Institute for National Policy Research in October 2016, the Northern District has a population of approximately 1.47 million citizens, representing 16% of Israel’s total population. In this region, 17% of the population is employed in the manufacturing, mining and quarrying industries, 13% in education, 11% in wholesale and retail trade, and 11% in health, welfare and social services.
Are electricity prices skyrocketing? The state of Israel has chosen to neglect this for a long time
Energy efficiency would save citizens thousands of shekels a year and dramatically reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
Israel has been neglecting this field for years, even though the population growth on a small area puts it in a particularly dangerous emergency situation.
Prof. Ofira Ayalon points to the example of the program for energy efficiency at the Technion that managed to save more than 10 times the amount invested in it.
If there is a shortage of housing, then where does everyone live?
Prof. Rachelle Alterman on the data of the housing shortage.
A new study checks: How much is the forest worth to you?
Ofira Ayalon, Orly Nathan, Tzipi Eshet, Keren Kaplan-Mintz
A new study has revealed what we, Israelis, think about the local forests, and how we usually spend time in them: it turns out that many of us are willing to pay for their existence, that few visit them alone, and that children influence the degree of enjoyment of them (and not for the better).
Israel is too crowded
One of the most prominent effects of population growth is the crowding of more and more Israelis in the tower neighborhoods.
However, according to Prof. Rachelle Alterman, the Israeli policy of encouraging residential towers is a “poisonous solution”
The Skills Interface Program in Mathematics, Science and Technology (STEM)
Arnon Bentur, Tamar Dayan, Avigdor Zonnenshain, Eli Eisenberg, Inna Zertser
The insight that has been established in recent years regarding education, in all its components, from preschool to academia, is that it is not enough to impart knowledge and it is necessary in the modern era to also impart skills and competencies, which should be part of the mission of the school system, higher education and lifelong learning in the 21st century.
The Ministry of Education has set a national goal for imparting, developing and evaluating skills and competencies that promote excellence in the entire education system in Israel, for the successful integration of graduates in academia, industry and society.
The Ministry of Education, in collaboration with the Samuel Neaman Institute and the Technion, conducted a pioneering study (pilot) on the development and implementation of an interface between the scientific and technological education in the education system, and the scientific engineering education in the school, for the purpose of acquiring and developing the required skills and competencies.
The skills chosen for purchase are in line with the skills led by the Ministry of Education.
A broad ecosystem has been built which includes all relevant stake holders for acquiring, teaching and evaluating skills: the Ministry of Education, the schools, the IDF, the Technion I.I.T, Beit Berel Academic College and the National Center for Examinations and Assessment and the Szold Institute.
