TEACHER SHORTAGE New York (JTA)—A national emergency in education exists in Israel today because of the extreme shortage of teachers and lack of candidates for the teaching profession. Dr. Michael Kvenari, vice-president of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, reported to officials of the National Council of Jewish Women. The Council supports the University's Depart ment of Secondary and Higher Education. There arc at present only 17,000 elementary and secondary school teachers In Israel, but there is need for at least twice that number, Dr. Evenarl reported.
