Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Student Rights Law (Amendment No. 11) establishes several reliefs and benefits in academia for reservists and their spouses, combatants, and other populations harmed following the "Iron Swords" war and 7 October: 1. Authorization for institutions of higher education and other institutions included in the definition of "institution" under the Student Rights Law to grant reliefs in admission conditions for studies to candidates who served in reserve duty, taking into account the nature of the service, its duration, and its proximity to the date of admission to studies. The authorization applies to the 2027 and 2028 academic years, and starting from the 2029 academic year it shall be conditional on a determination by the Minister of Education that there is justification for reliefs in light of the scope and nature of the reserve duty to which the candidates were called. The determination shall be made by order, in consultation with the Council for Higher Education and with the approval of the Knesset Education Committee. 2. Authorization for the said institutions regarding the 2027 and 2028 academic years - to grant reliefs also to candidates whose spouse served in reserve duty for at least 42 days in the year preceding the date of registration for studies, taking into account the criteria detailed above. 3. Extension of the priority given in the 2025 and 2026 academic years regarding eligibility for student dormitories for reservists, combatants, and those harmed in the Iron Swords war and 7 October - for two additional years - the 2027 and 2028 academic years.
