A resolution calling on Jewish communal leaders to support the Jewish communal school, in addition to other types of Jewish schools, was adopted today at the closing session of the 37th annual conference of the National Council of Jewish Education.
Other resolutions endorsed a survey of the Jewish teaching profession to raise standards of Jewish educators and to meet the shortage of Jewish personnel in Jewish schools and called for the World Council for Jewish Education and the International Bureau of Jewish Education to be made effective instrumentalities for the exchange of information and experience between Jewish educators in the United States and in other countries.
The National Council for Jewish Education comprises the leading Jewish educators of all ideological groupings, Orthodox, Conservative and Reform, in the United States, Canada and Mexico. More than 200 leaders of Jewish education in the United States, Canada and Mexico who attended the four-day conference also met in joint session with the National Conference of Jewish Communal Service, the National Association of Jewish Center Workers and the Jewish Community Relations Workers, who convened simultaneously with the National Council for Jewish Education.
