Third sector involvement in public education: the Israeli case

---

Purpose – The purpose of this article is to address the involvement of third sector organizations in
state public education in Israel, with emphasis on the decision-making processes affecting the
geographic distribution of service provision.
Design/methodology/approach – A collective case study approach was used to investigate
non-governmental organization (NGO) procedures for the deployment of the educational services they
provide. The study was based on semi-structured interviews with key personnel and on documents
from four NGOs operating in the Israeli public education system.
Findings – The article illustrates the extent of third sector organizations’ involvement in the Israeli
public educational system, in most cases operated with significant governmental funding. The
findings reveal two main factors in the NGOs’ decision-making process that affect their operational
deployment: the type of financing model they adopted and the nature of their relationship with the
Ministry of Education.
Practical implications – The paper’s findings have led to several policy recommendations. It
recommends that NGOs be more aware of their financing model and more critical in its appraisal. It
also recommends that the state take into account the vision and financing model of NGOs and its own
strategic responsibility for reaching nationwide social goals when selecting partners.
Originality/value – The study examines the increasing involvement of NGOs in state public
education. As trends of privatization and democratization continue, the number of NGOs operating in
the public education system continues to rise, and their importance continues to increase.
