Giora ShalgiGiora Shalgi

Former CEO of Refael Industries

Member of the leading educational network Israeli Friends’ Association

"We don’t have any natural resources. Our only resource is people, talented people, creative people. We need to expand the technological education in Israel beginning with children in kindergarten. To encourage people to create with their hands and with their minds. The educational network is the biggest one in Israel. The fact that the network also covers the weaker part of Israeli society, gives it real strength as a leading school system in Israel."


 

Elisha YanayElisha Yanay

CEO Motorola Company

Graduate of Aaron Singalovski Comprehensive High School and a member of the leading educational network Israeli Friends’ Association

"I can share with you that the experience that I managed to gather in my life with the Israeli network is helping me and my colleagues. I will strongly recommend to the youth to go and spend those four years in those technical schools because the value will pay off unbelievably later on."



 

Shimon ShekelShimon Shekel

CEO Mul-T-Lock Corporation

Graduate of Aaron Singalovski Comprehensive High School and a member of the leading educational network Israeli Friends’ Association

"I was born in Hungary, grew up in Bat Yam, and was educated at the Singalovsky Comprehensive High School, graduating in 1965. For the past 18 years, I have directed a number of Israeli metal product factories. In 1975 I was awarded the prestigious Kaplan Prize, and in 2007 I had the honor of receiving the Israel Prize for Industry. Undoubtedly, the solid High School technical education contributed immeasurably to my subsequent advanced studies, and ultimately to my professional success."



 

Yosef YaromYosef Yarom

Chairman of the Board of Bank Massad

Member of the leading educational network Israeli Friends’ Association

"I have followed the network’s multifaceted activities for several years, with amazement. Generations of young people, with pride in their professional abilities and who contribute decisively to Israel’s industrial development and versatility, are the strongest reflection of the network’s educational investment. These graduates are to be found at every critical socio-economic junction in the country, and represent most explicitly the grandeur, the vision and the widened horizons that the network’s educational endeavors inspire."



 

Edna FesherDr. Edna Fesher

Organizational Consultant

Member of the leading educational network Israeli Friends’ Association

"In the framework of my work with the educational network, I came to understand and deeply respect the organization’s enormous and unique contribution to scientific and technological education in Israel. Israel is one of the world leaders in technological innovation, and in order to maintain its competitive edge, it needs to constantly invest in developing future human resources. In this context, the network is actually fulfilling a national imperative by educating pupils from across the entire socio-economic spectrum, from the most gifted and talented to those in danger of dropping out, from cities and rural communities, Jews and non – Jews. The network provides the critical knowledge base and values from which these youth will continue to develop and contribute decisively to the country’s intellectual capital. It was my privilege to assist the network in establishing its Israel Friends’ Association, and I’m proud to contribute as an active member."

 

Chemi PeresChemi Peres

Managing General Partner, Co-Founder, Pitango Venture Capital

Graduate of the network’s Givataim school and a member of Friends of Israel Sci-Tech Schools

"I am totally aware of the key role that the Sci-Tech Schools play as a leader of education in Israel. When I visited my own alma mater in Givataim -- and saw the students’ own enthusiasm -- I witnessed the importance this new science and technology approach to education. This is something that the Sci-Tech network system drives home in its own schools. These pupils are our most important resource and we must invest in them."
