The Ministry of Education in an unusual announcement: today (Thursday) the matriculation exam in the citizenship subject will be held in the winter, when until recently a questionnaire was circulating online that is supposedly a leak of the exam. The unusual situation led officials in the exam division to publish a warning, according to which this is a fictitious questionnaire, and that these are not the questions that will appear in the exam.
"Caution - a fake," the Ministry of Education said in a statement.
"Today at noon the matriculation exam in citizenship will be held. The office has learned that some party is publishing a 'leaking of the matriculation' through the net. Pay attention - this is a complete fake. This is not the exam form!".
It is believed that the questionnaire distributed online is part of a campaign against the legal reform led by Justice Minister Yariv Levin.

The questions in the "exam" deal with the intention to cancel the law prohibiting discrimination in products, services and entering public places.
The students are required to explain how the law will harm LGBT people, Arabs and women. Another question deals with the fact that the Hungarian government forbids the public presentation of content that touches the LGBT community, and as a result the physical harm and institutional discrimination against the community has significantly increased.

Another question deals with a fundamental law: human dignity and freedom, and the students are required to explain, as it were, why the government wants to abolish the protection of human rights and how the abolition of the law will affect the daily life of Israelis from different groups such as Arabs, ultra-Orthodox, peripheral, Ethiopians and more.
The process of transferring the matriculation questionnaires to the schools is a secure process in which many millions have been invested.
The tests that are printed on the government printer go through security guards to the schools where they are kept in dedicated safes that are opened by remote control just minutes before the start of the exam.
