The Tisch Family Zoo runs a High School Graduation Program (Bagrut) that allows highly gifted children from the 11th grade to participate in a sought-after and elite academic course presented at the Zoo and approved by the Ministry of Education as a high school graduation credit. The program attracts students who are interested in furthering their scientific research skills, as well as those who are interested in ecology and wildlife conservation.
We are pleased to report that this year's graduating class included a student who did his final report on " Mammal Population Survey in Nahal Soreq Nature Reserve with an emphasis on Persian Fallow Deer." The supervisor for the project was our head of the Deer Conservation Project, Uzi Shamir.
The best news is that Michael, who is also a volunteer at the Zoo, received a perfect grade of 100 for his report! Congratulations!
The Zoo Bagrut program was established 10 years ago and it has become known as a unique education project that utilizes the Zoo as an educational tool for the promotion of nature conservation values and the pursuit of scientific excellence. Students from over 20 different and diverse high school institutions have participated in the program. As a result of its success, the program has become a model for other Jerusalem education programs in different fields.
