New Eco-Technology High School in Neveh Midbar:
Building a Better Future for Bedouin Teens

With training and certification in key areas of Eco-Technology, Dror Israel Neveh Midbar prepares Bedouin students to succeed in Israel's StartUp Nation economy

Education is Key in Addressing Poverty in Bedouin Communities

Per the 2021 State Comptroller's Annual Report, "the Bedouin population of the Negev is the poorest sector in Israel, suffering from a lack of infrastructures and quality education." Dropout (31%) and unemployment (30% for men, 80% for women) are the highest in Israel. The Ministry of Education has selected Dror Israel to build a vocational high school in Neveh Midbar to help lift the surrounding Bedouin communities out of poverty. 

Dror Israel Schools are Uniquely Qualified

Dror Israel's award-winning network of 8 high schools, 2 boarding schools and community-based programs serve a mixed population in the social and geographic periphery of Israel. We give students the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the StartUp Nation economy. Learning teamwork, communication, problem solving, and leadership, they contribute to their families and communities and help build a democratic, shared society.
