The Education Ministry has ordered the closure of the gifted classes in central Israel, including Mofet (advanced) classes (mathematics, physics, and community culture) and Science-Technology Programs.

This comes in light of failing scores in international tests.

Program leaders and parents are outraged by the move and have written to the ministry warning of its consequences.
