Abstract
In response to a question about policies to absorb the recent influx of Soviet and Ethiopian immigrants (1989-1992) a former Israeli Prime Minister responded: “There was no policy...immigration itself creates solutions... and solves problems.” To the same question, a senior Jewish Agency absorption official commented: “... at the university you have ideas of vast plans... in life we do not have the time needed to make one... there is a need for quick and
immediate decisions.” If education is the key to success for any group, it is doubly so for the Ethiopians. For them, it not only affects their chances for upward mobility, it plays a critical role in their integration into Israel's mainstream-modern, technological and mostly urban society (JDC, 1997).
