Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law includes several amendments aimed at providing financial assistance, relief and adjustments to students who served in the reserves or in regular service, and to their spouses, among other things in light of the Iron Swords War. In the Council for Higher Education Law, 1958, the CHE's assistance fund was authorized to take into account military service and reserve duty when distributing grants as well. In the Encouragement of Student Involvement in Social and Community Activity Law, 2018, the terms for recognizing reserve service as entitling students to academic credit points toward a degree were improved. In the Student Rights Law, 2007, it was determined that the CHE must set rules on the basis of which institutions will determine special accommodations for students who served in the reserves under emergency circumstances and with short notice of more than 30 days, and for spouses of those who so served. In addition, it was determined that an institution is authorized to grant admission requirement relief to those who served in regular combat service, subject to conditions, and it was further established, as a temporary provision, that an institution is authorized to grant admission requirement relief for the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 academic years to those who served in the Iron Swords War, taking into account the nature and duration of the service. The temporary provision will apply until the end of 3 months from the commencement of the Law, and the Minister of Education may extend it by an additional 6 months subject to the continuation of the fighting.
