Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Eighteen ultra-Orthodox yeshivas are not providing students with a secular education that meets state standards, city officials said Friday, concluding an eight-year investigation that faced lengthy delays and alleged political interference.
The finding by the Department of Education follows years of allegations from yeshiva graduates and parents that the schools run by the Hasidic Jewish community teach little English and offer barely any instruction in topics like math, science and history. “Most schools were cooperative and worked with the DOE over the course of this review. A small number of schools were uncooperative with the DOE’s review,” education spokesperson Nathaniel Styer said.The city declared four yeshivas out of compliance with state standards outright. It recommended the state conclude 14 other yeshivas are also out of compliance. Five other yeshivas were found to meet standards thanks to partnerships with registered high schools.
In one example, at Yeshiva Bnei Shimon Yisroel of Sopron in South Williamsburg, investigators observed no secular instruction at all, with lessons taught only in Yiddish. The school also refused follow-up visits.
