Amal is Israel’s only educational network that is State-Democratic by definition. It was founded in 1928 by Israel’s Labor Federation (The Histadrut) and until today enjoys the proximity of a strong organized network of employers and employees. Amal brings together some 50 schools from across Israeli society, ranging from Jewish schools to Arab, Druze and Bedouin schools in Israel’s social and geographic periphery. These schools bring together some 30,000 students and are spread across 24 local and regional authorities, and each represents its community and special identity. Amal students are given opportunities for both higher education and vocational education that enable them to pursue careers in areas that are vital for Israeli economy. Amal graduates throughout the years have assumed positions of influence in top high-tech companies, educational organizations, army units, NGO’s and governmental offices. Amal aims at forming an Alumni Association to further ensure the career prospects of its graduates.
