----- Original Message ----- From: "English Inspectorate" <info@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Meitzav examinations August 22, 2006 Dear English Teachers, The National Authority for Measurement and Evaluation in Education (RAMA) has recently assumed responsibility for the Meitzav examinations. RAMA was established as an independent governmental body, reporting to the Minister of Education, to lead and guide the Israeli education system regarding all aspects of measurement and evaluation. Information about the Meitzav tests for the coming school year can be accessed at: http://cms.education.gov.il/EducationCMS/Units/Rama/OdotRama/Chadashot.htm Please make sure that you read this document carefully as there are changes both in the date of the exam and about how often schools will be tested both internally and externally. The document on the Meitzav tests can be downloaded as a word or PDF file (follow the link on the letter to school principals). RAMA is also responsible for the procedures involved in marking Meitzav examinations and will announce information regarding how to apply to mark them.
