This paper reports on a program to develop a comprehensive overall strategy of educational research that deals with the state of education in Israel. Four dimensions or sets of demands on the schools are discussed: (1) civilizational demands of transmission of heritage and culture; (2) social demands for good citizenship, productive workers, up to date skills, and perpetuation of civil society; (3) parental demands for the ability to make a living, perpetuation of their way of life, and happiness; and (4) individual student demands for happiness, self expression, and the ability to make a living and fit in. All these demands find expression in the educational system through the mediation of the professional educators responsible for the day to day working of the system: classroom teachers, principals, and senior professionals. Israel's education system is ranked as nursery, elementary, secondary schools, and terciary (or university, teachers, state religious, independent, and vocational colleges). While in terms of variety of options Israel's education system ranks very high, there is considerable dissatisfaction with the system as it is operating. That dissatisfaction has expressed itself in connection with a number of critical issues. They include the problems of a common core curriculum that will unite the various ideological trends and subtrends, how minorities are treated within the system, the problem of the gap between disadvantaged or culturally deprived children and those who are not, problems of equalization, questions of what is taught and how effectively it is learned, and to what extent supplementary education is needed.
