In the kingdom of Yoav Kisch, those who serve the public rather than the minister are punished. Anyone who presents real data, rather than distort it to suit Kisch’s interests, is fired. Thus, on Tuesday, the education minister decided to fire Gal Alon, the director general of the National Authority for Measurement and Evaluation in Education. Why? Alon performed his duty faithfully by making public the scores of students in nationalized standardized tests.
