Among other topics, they covered the issue of\u00a0 demonstrating the importance of higher education to underserved communities in Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Hartman noted that the first thing that must be addressed is the \u201cfear factor\u201d surrounding pursuing higher education, an activity in which many in underserved communities have never participated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ono must close the existing educational gaps.\u00a0 For instance, many ultra-Orthodox Jews have not received sufficient training in English and Mathematics to succeed in higher education.\u00a0 Other less obvious gaps include teaching how to speak to someone not from my community, and how to interact with modernity. It is important to assure members of underserved communities that their culture is respected and has a place in academia.\u00a0 This provides them with the confidence to study and succeed.\u00a0 Critically, members of the underserved communities need to know, that they will get jobs after they finish their education. They want to ensure that after they finish their studies in accounting, banking, law, occupational therapy, etc. they will find post-educational employment.<\/p>\n<p>Hartman described the situation saying, \u201cIt\u2019s not the secular changing for the ultra-Orthodox, and it\u2019s not the ultra-Orthodox changing for secular Israel.\u00a0 It is everyone understanding and coexisting and at the end of the day you\u2019ll be able to find a job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This reality also requires that the learning be different.\u00a0 These underserved populations study \u201ctachlis\u201d (pragmatic) subjects that the job market needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ono Academic College\u2019s CEO and founder, Ranan Hartman, was recently interviewed by Elliott Gotkine, Bloomberg Television&#8217;s former editor.
