Dr. Mor Tal Ben Ezra Breaks Barriers in Technological Education

Dr. Mor Tal Ben Ezra, Head of Technological Education and Colleges at Amal Educational Network, is a trailblazer in the field of technology education in Israel. For the past three years, Mor has been shaping the future of thousands of students across Amal’s high schools, middle schools, and colleges for practical engineers. She combines a rigorous Ministry of Education curriculum with tailored activities, tutorials, and mentorship to ensure every student succeeds in their journey to technological literacy and excellence.

Recently, Mor was interviewed by the prestigious journal People and Computers, sharing her inspiring journey as a woman thriving in a field traditionally dominated by men. With a Ph.D. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and experience from the military’s academic track, Mor’s path to technology was unexpected but transformative. Initially drawn to physics, literature, and Arabic in high school, she took a leap of faith by joining the academic track for electrical engineering after graduation. This decision opened doors to a world of innovation and challenges, ultimately igniting her passion for technology and education.

Mor is deeply committed to promoting gender equality in technology. She acknowledges the significant wage gaps and underrepresentation of women in senior roles within the tech industry and has taken actionable steps to address these disparities. Through Amal’s initiatives, she encourages female students to pursue technological studies by connecting them with inspiring women leaders in the industry, organizing academic and high-tech company tours, and equipping them with the tools and confidence to succeed.

“I believe the education system bears a significant responsibility for creating continuity between learning and professional growth,” Mor stated. “By empowering young women to enter technology fields, we can drive meaningful change for future generations.”

Mor’s leadership and vision are paving the way for a more inclusive and innovative future, exemplifying Amal’s commitment to education and social mobility.
