Israelis believe that education is a precious heritage. According to tradition, education continues to be the basic embodiment of values and is regarded as "the key to the future". Based on the traditional Jewish values, Israelis believe that the education system is to train children from different ethnic, religious, cultural and political backgrounds to become responsible members of a democratic and pluralistic society. Therefore, the Israeli government has always attached importance to education.

Israel has the highest average years of education in the Middle East and West Asia, and ranks 22nd in the world alongside Japan as the country with the highest average years of education in Asia. According to United Nations data, Israel also has the highest literacy rate in the Middle East.

At the level of secondary education, Israel's education system can be divided into three stages: primary education (1 ~ 6 grade), junior high school (7 ~ 9 grade), followed by senior high school (/kloc-0 ~ 1 2 grade), and compulsory education ranges from1grade to162 grade. Secondary education usually includes helping to prepare for the entrance examination for Israeli universities ().

The college entrance examination consists of several subjects, some of which are compulsory (Hebrew, English, mathematics, Bible education, civics, literature) and some of which are optional (such as chemistry, music, French). In 2003, 56.4% of Israeli students in grade 12 were admitted to universities: 57.4% of Hebrew students and 50.7% of Arab students.

There are eight universities and dozens of colleges in Israel. According to a survey conducted by Webometrics in 2006, seven of the best 10 universities in the Middle East are located in Israel, and the top four are Israeli universities.
