An investigation report by Prof. Ami Moyal, commissioned by Education Minister Yoav Kisch, reveals a crisis of trust between the Ministry of Education and the National Authority for Measurement and Evaluation in Education (RAMA). The report states that RAMA reports should be published independently and transparently, criticizes delays in publishing test results and the definition of achievement levels, but opposes retroactive changes to student classification.

An investigation report by Prof. Ami Moyal, commissioned by Education Minister Yoav Kisch, reveals a deep crisis of trust between the Ministry of Education and the National Authority for Measurement and Evaluation in Education (RAMA). The report states that the disputes are not isolated but systemic, and that they harm the effectiveness of the national testing system and the ability to use results to improve teaching. One of the key recommendations is that RAMA reports be published independently and transparently, without requiring approval from the Ministry of Education. The report criticized how achievement levels were defined but determined that student classification should not be changed retroactively. Additionally, it found that the English test focused mainly on reading comprehension and did not include speaking and listening comprehension. Moyal recommended enshrining RAMA's independence in law and regulating its working relationship with the ministry.
