General information
During 1992-1993, the Ministry of Education, with the support of the Israeli government, began implementing the NAALE program. The main reason for this was numerous petitions from Jewish parents in the Commonwealth of Independent States asking the government of Israel to let their children study there.
The Israeli government decided in the following two years, 1994–1995, to transfer responsibility for this program to the Sochnut and Aliyat ha-Noar .
At the end of 1995, just a few days before his death, Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin returned responsibility to the Ministry of Education.
The program was then continued by the Association of Promotion of Education in Israel , which was set up on the initiative of the Minister of Education .
The management of NAALE consists of the following departments: education, department for communication with foreign countries ( Russia , Western Europe , Latin America , France , English-speaking countries), medical department, administration, and a department responsible for the integration of students.
The management of NAALE is responsible for the reception of the students and supports the schools, the students and their parents.
