The Academic College of Tel Aviv-Yaffo

The Academic College of Tel Aviv-Yaffo (MTA) is a public institution with a clear mission: to harness its academic assets to benefit society. The top priority of the college is to successfully integrate minority groups into Israeli society out of the desire to bring into fruition the forging of a cohesive society whose members strive together toward common goals. As part of this vision, MTA is committed to nurturing the human potential of Arab youth, who belong to Israel’s largest underserved minority, and removing obstacles to their integration into higher education and the workforce. MTA does so through a variety of original programs aimed at increasing the number of Arab youths accepted to and completing tertiary studies, complemented by collaborations with various municipalities and organizations designed to promote the standing and prospects of the Arab community in Israel.
