This is an unparalleled chutzpa. There is still no study anywhere in the world that shows that someone who studies core curriculum subjects ends up being a better earner..
-- Minister in the Education Ministry, Chaim Biton
this is amazing. Besides for the blatant lie as there are plenty of studies from all around the world including Israel that prove that on average educated people are more successful in earning a living (yes, we all know stories of people without classic education who became wealthy, but we are talking about "on average", not the exceptions or the individuals), it is amazing that a minister int he education ministry can openly talk about there being no need for education...
He should have just stuck to the normal Haredi talking points that even if it helps, we dont care, it is our right to educate our children how we want, for pure unadulterated torah studies and future parnasa is not high on our list of priorities..
