Closed club
It is important to say that in the state-religious education (about 365 thousand students) there are wonderful and talented educators, but it is a "closed club" that determines the curricula and the set of values according to which its students are educated.
It is locked for "secular" or "traditional" principals and teachers, as these are required to declare that they lead a religious lifestyle in order to work there.
On the other hand, people who grew up in the state-religious education integrate relatively easily in the state education system (which is not religious) in senior positions and influence the education and consciousness of all the students of the system.
For this reason, the demand of parents to establish a state-secular education system has recently increased.
