Few leave USSR
NEW YORK — Charlotte Jacob-son, chairman of the Soviet Jewry Research Bureau of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry; reported that only 246 Jews Arrived in Vienna during September.
A strong ^ming about the Urgency of increaslpjl edUCaliqn in Israel was made recently by General Shlomo Gazit, president of Ben-Gurion Universi^ of the Negev and former head of the Israel Defense Forces MiliCary Intelligence.
Gazit will address a BGU Vancouver Chapter luncheon open to the community on Sunday, Nov. 14 at the Hyatt Regency h^^^
He recciitly tol4 the pi^^ that **tiiere is a rapid closing of the educalionalrtechnolo^cal gap between the Jewish State and the neighboring Arab: world."
He stressed that these changes have important implications regarding IsraeFs future both in milir tary and Ibng-tenn economic terms.
Gaat pointed put that there are
nmm
today some 1.4 million students . attending universities- in the ^^1* countries compared with ^,000 in Israers universities: This represents a dramatic increase: in 1970, Israel had 33,000 university students and the Arab world only 400,000 — less than a third of today's number.
Gazit indicated that the sciences, almost unknown in Arab universi-^ ties 20 years ago, are coming into greater and greater prominence.
"In geheral", he stressed, '^higher education is now seen as the norm, a necessity, hot a luxury, in the increasingly wealthy Islamic countries."'- ■
Gazit pointed out that if Israel is going to have a cpmpetitiye economic future, it must be based on production for export of sophisti-
cated specific electronic and in* dustrial goods.
The trend towards locteas^pd higher education in the Arab woiid» specially in the ^sdencies and tech* -nology^ is'precisely. wbat^ Gazit recommends should happen quickly in Israel. **Not only has the quality of Arab universities vastly improved, but Arab states have the funds to send their graduates to leading Western, and Eastern European universities for higher degrees,** he said^
Gazit is expected to discuss these matters during his Nov. 14 address herCi entiiV^^ Background and Per-spectives in the Middle East After Lebanon.
Event convener Terry BensimOn urged that reservations be made now by caUing 438-5521.
