Israel freezes Meitzav exams amid education policy dispute

Israel's Education Ministry halted the Meitzav standardized exams, including the 9th-grade math test scheduled for November, after the Ramah (National Authority for Measurement and Evaluation in Education) suspended operations.

The decision reflects ongoing political tension over educational transparency and accountability.
