Vocational schools benefit from Na'amat men's drive
"Tell me: ril forget, ^how me: I may remember. But involve me and I'll understand." This well-travelled dictum represents the learning atmosphere Na'amat believes is present in its 15 Timon vocational schools located throughout Israel, and the spirit of the local Na'amat men's campaign now underway.
Timon school programs are
the needs of each student. "The essence is to strengthen their sense of personal worth while providing, through hands-on learning, marketable skills," a spokesperson for Na'amat pointed out.
Timon schools maintain a high pupil-teacher ratiq^and require outside support to supplement their overall
budget, the Bulletin learned. Unfortunately, Israeli Ministry of Education funding is designed for mainstream schools with larger classes, and Timon programs are not as developed as they could be due to lack of support, spokespersons commented.
Every year, decisions con-, cerning equipment purchase, hiring of staff, renovations and the acquisition of new must-bejveigheds.
"Monies raised through the men's campaign will be a major factor in the decisionmaking process," said a spokesperson.
Contributions^ are tax-deductible and may be sent to Na'amat, 950 W. 41st Ave., Vancouver, B.C., V5Z 2N7.
