I would like to suggest those of you doing your MA through a university
other than one in Israel - be extremely careful.
Before starting mine through Loughborough University in England in 1997
I contacted the Ministry of Education to ask if they accepted MA's from
this university " I received an answer that they do. I then went ahead
and did my MA " paying for it myself. This was a course that you
studied there in the summer and then wrote papers during the year
through correspondence over a period of 3 years.
Upon completion in 2000 I happily handed my MA degree into the ministry
and eagerly waited a 5% increase on my salary as promised. The
ministry then refused to accept this MA.
I still have the letter where they said they would accept it " and
believe me I have contacted every one from Judy Steiner to Limor Livnat
" but I am just brushed off with a simple letter stating that at this
time it is not being accepted. The weird thing is that a friend who
did the program with me and completed it a year before the Head of the
Histadrut bought his MA " her MA was accepted.
I wonder what 5 years of 5% added to my salary is worth&.
Lindsey
