Abstract
The educational needs of Jewish and Arab primary and secondary school- age student populations are provided by two separate and parallel educ ational systems. The immigrant context is discussed first, then educat ional issues pertaining to the Arab minority are examined. Emphasis is placed on emerging trends in the educational treatment of immigrant c hildren as well as on shifts in educational policy and practice in the Arab sector. The educational experience and performance of immigrant students and Israeli Arab students are discussed within this broader c ontext.
