# Israeli Medical School Deans Oppose Gender Segregation Bill
The heads of all nine Israeli medical schools have issued a joint letter to members of parliament urging rejection of a bill that would expand gender segregation in higher education. The letter was sent as the legislation is set to become law this week.
In their statement, the deans warned that expanding gender segregation could jeopardize Israel's international academic recognition and potentially degrade the country's medical capabilities. The concerns raised by the medical school leadership center on the impact such policies would have on the quality and standing of medical education in Israel.
The unified position from the heads of all nine institutions represents a significant coordinated response from the medical education sector to the proposed legislation.
