Ideology, Policy, and Practice: Education for Immigrants and Minorities in Israel Today

This monograph discloses how ideology in the domain of immigration is translated into educational policy and turned into school practices in Israel. The volume also provides bases for comparisons with other countries whose avowed goals are to educate for democracy and egalitarianism; contributes to the methodology of the policy sciences by demonstrating a complex model of process assessment; and clarifies the theorization of the process in which policy and practice are intertwined, and revert to ideology. The book will provide cues to prescription–indications of remedies for at least some of the recognized ills.
