Adjustments in learning and assessment methods

Adjustments to learning and examination methods are intended to enable equal academic rights for students with disabilities, learning disabilities, or various conditions (as detailed below). Their goal is to enable fair learning and examination conditions, as needed and in accordance with the presentation of the required certificates. All of this, in accordance with what is customary in institutions of higher education.

The Center for Equal Academics at the Ono Academic Center operates out of a deep commitment to equal opportunities, and invests many resources to ensure that each student is able to learn in a way that is tailored to their personal needs. Within this framework, a variety of adjustments are made to both learning methods and assessment methods – from adjusting the physical environment, making learning materials accessible, using hearing aids, to adding extra time to tests, using adapted formula sheets, or using assistive technology for reading and writing. The adjustments are determined individually and are based on professional recommendations, with the aim of enabling each student to maximize their academic abilities.

Please note – it is recommended that you apply for learning accommodations as early as possible, preferably before the start of the semester, so that we can prepare for them. Regarding accommodations in examination procedures – the process of obtaining approval for accommodations and inviting them to exams may take about a month and a half. In light of this, it is highly recommended that you apply to Matana Center At the beginning of the semester and no later than mid-semester. We cannot guarantee timely accommodations for students who submit their application late.

Certificates from a general practitioner or family doctor will not be accepted.

Tax Authority systems in Israel are a group of systems; the transition to cloud-based systems in Israel is designed to improve the service.

The Tax Authority systems include the following main systems: Income Tax, Property Tax, VAT, Customs and Collection.
The systems provide services in various areas of reforms, institutions that are not subject to VAT and also information for assessors, representatives and the public.

The emphasis on accessibility in the Tax Authority systems is reflected both in the external design and in the internal design.

The internal design focuses on building and managing accessible digital forms for handling VAT and Customs, as well as for handling business in Income Tax, VAT and Customs.

The authorities of the judiciary in Israel are divided between the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court serves as an appellate instance for judgments of the District Courts in Israel, and as a High Court of Justice. When sitting as a High Court of Justice, it hears appeals against the decisions of the District Courts, the Magistrates Courts and the Religious Courts. There are three types of appeals: the High Court of Justice, District Courts and Magistrate Courts.

The powers of the judiciary are influenced by the changes in the powers of the investigative authorities and the prosecuting authorities, in order to allow scrutiny and expansion on the history of the judiciary and its influence in the State of Israel.
