Award of Excellence in Educational Management

In light of the continuing crisis in the education system and as part of endeavors to encourage excellence in education, this year Dun & Bradstreet Israel decided to make an award for the first time for “Excellence in Educational Management.”

The award was bestowed upon the school principle that represents an example of leadership in making breakthroughs. The intention is to shed light on the role of a leader of important social change.
Dun & Bradstreet views with the highest importance empowering the topic of education and placing it in the center of today’s agenda, from the simple point of view that the right investment in this sector is also an investment in the Israeli economy and the future leaders of the country.
The school principle was chosen from a list of impressive candidates who were considered in cooperation with sources in the Ministry of Education, Microsoft Israel and Dr. Yossi Vardi.

Yigal Gaz represents an example of breakthrough leadership in the most impossible market conditions. He has demonstrated economic management capabilities, has worked to recruit advanced technology and support systems for teaching, while managing a network of 20 additional schools on a voluntary basis.
Mr. Gaz succeeded in maintaining a teaching routine even during the Second Lebanon War using distance learning systems.
His school also invests in activities that promote values and has taken under its wing an institute for rehabilitating young drug addicts who are attached to the schools curricula. The school also assists the region’s school drop-outs and enables them to learn within a special framework at the school.
All this is achieved alongside encouraging values of volunteerism and a desire to undertake significant military service in the future.
