The Technion, as a globally competitive technical university draws highly qualified students from throughout Israel and other countries, but also has a number of targeted initiatives at the secondary and pre-academic level for students in the Galilee, including Arab students (see Box 2.2.). The Tel Hai Academic College, which describes its role as a "national college located in the region," has developed to a scale and a level of prestige that it now recruits substantially from the centre to the extent that 60% of its undergraduate academic students come from outside the Galilee. However, with the exception of Arab colleges, the enrolments remain largely Jewish.
