[Cz-L] Jewish ORT school in Czernowitz

http://pics.livejournal.com/whasup/pic/00tygde1

The ORT network has regained a foothold in the western Ukraine city of
Chernivtsi with the acceptance of the city’s Jewish school into the fold.
Jewish School No. 41, the only state Jewish school in Bukovyna, the region
straddling the Ukrainian-Romanian border, is looking forward to upgrading
its already respected standards now that its students and staff can benefit
from ORT’s support.

“The school has an excellent Jewish Studies program but lacks the
technological component which is ORT’s strength,” said Josef Zissels,
Chairman of the Vaad Association of Jewish Communities of Ukraine. “Many
parents feel the school provides a great atmosphere and a Jewish education
but some refuse to send their children there because the level of teaching
science and technology are not at a particularly high level.”

However, Mr. Zissels felt that more of the parents who currently try to get
their children into the school, which has the reputation of high standards
in science teaching, would gladly consider the new ORT school once
international investments have kicked in.
