”חד-נס״ בחינוך: שותפותה של ח״כ אסתר רזיאל-נאור במאבק לביטול שיטת הזרמים

This article discusses the parliamentary activities of MK Esther Raziel-Naor to abolish the "educational trends", viewing this struggle as an expression and translation of the vision of Ze'ev Jabotinsky, and especially the value of Had-Nes (One Flag). From the founding of the State of Israel (1948) to the enactment of the State Education Act (1953), the Herut Party fought to repeal the "educational trends system". The system allowed for having four education trends, all under State authority and auspices – general, workers', Mizrahi, and Agudath Israel. It was Esther Raziel-Naor, on behalf of the Herut Party, who led the struggle to abolish this system. Underlying her opposition to the "education trends" were Revisionist ideology Had-Nes values. In her parliamentary activity to end the "educational trends", Raziel-Naor supplemented Had-Nes with educational substance. She asked that the educational system adopt the Had-Nes value as an abstract idea of unity, and as a literal expression of the educational uniformity. This article is an examination of the Raziel-Naor's contribution to abolishing the "educational trends" system, and the degree to which she succeeded, as a reflection of her party's ideology. The discussion of the activities of MK Raziel- Naor allows us to understand the educational doctrines of the Herut Party, and particularly those of Raziel-Naor.
