=== Education ===
{{Main|Cheder|Yeshiva|Bais Yaakov}}
Haredim primarily educate their children in their own [[Independent school|private schools]], starting with ''[[cheder]]im'' for [[pre-school]] to [[primary school]] ages, to yeshivos for boys from [[secondary school]] ages, and in seminaries, often called [[Bais Yaakov]]s, for girls of secondary school ages. Only Jewish religiously observant students are admitted, and parents must agree to abide by the rules of the school to keep their children enrolled. Yeshivas are headed by rosh yeshivas (deans) and principals. Many Hasidic schools in Israel, Europe, and North America teach few (or no) secular subjects, while some of the Litvish (Lithuanian style) schools in Israel follow educational policies to the Hasidic school. In the U.S., most teach secular subjects to boys and girls, as part of a dual curriculum of secular subjects (generally called "English") and Torah subjects. Yeshivas teach mostly Talmud and [[Rabbinic literature]], while the girls' schools teach Jewish Law, [[Midrash]], and Tanach ([[Hebrew Bible]]).

Between 2007 and 2017, the number of Haredim studying in higher education had risen from 1,000 to 10,800.<ref name=tzvi>{{Cite web |url=http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/240041 |title=Education rising, poverty dropping among haredim |last=Lev |first=Tzvi |date=December 31, 2017 |website=Israel National News}}</ref>

In 2007, the Kemach Foundation was established to become an investor in the sector's social and economic development, and provide opportunities for employment. Through the philanthropy of [[Leo Noé]] of London, later joined by the [[Zev Wolfson|Wolfson]] family of New York and [[Elie Horn]] from Brazil, Kemach has facilitated academic and vocational training. With a $22m budget, including government funding, Kemach provides individualized career assessment, academic or vocational scholarships, and job placement for the entire Haredi population in Israel. The Foundation is managed by specialists who, coming from the Haredi sector themselves, are familiar with the community's needs and sensitivities. By April 2014, more than 17,800 Haredim have received the services of Kemach, and more than 7,500 have received, or continue to receive, monthly scholarships to fund their academic or vocational studies. From 500 graduates, the net benefits to the government would be 80.8 million NIS if they work for one year, 572.3 million NIS if they work for 5 years, and 2.8 billion NIS (discounted) if they work for 30 years.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Lisa Cave |author2=Hamutal Aboody|date=December 2010|title=The Benefits and Costs of Employment Programs for the Haredim Implemented by the Kemach Foundation |url=http://brookdale.jdc.org.il/en/publication/benefits-costs-employment-programs-haredim-ultra-orthodox-implemented-kemach-foundation/|journal=Myers JDC Brookdale Institute}}</ref>

The Council for Higher Education announced in 2012 that it was investing NIS 180 million over the following five years to establish appropriate frameworks for the education of Haredim, focusing on specific professions.<ref>{{cite news |title=New project to integrate Haredim in higher education |author=Lior Dattel |url=http://www.haaretz.com/business/new-project-to-integrate-haredim-in-higher-education-1.412067 |newspaper=Haaretz |date=2012-02-10 |access-date=2012-03-02}}</ref> The largest Haredi campus in Israel is [[The Haredi Campus - The Academic College Ono]].

In the midst of a controversy surrounding the limited secular education in some Haredi yeshivas, New York City mayor [[Eric Adams]] held up the Haredi yeshiva model as a model to emulate, arguing that "We need to ask, 'What are we doing wrong in our schools?' And learn what you are doing in the yeshivas to improve education."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Henry |first=Jacob |date=2023-05-15 |title=New York City Mayor Eric Adams praises yeshiva education, pushes back on criticism |url=https://www.jta.org/2023/05/15/ny/new-york-city-mayor-eric-adams-praises-yeshiva-education-pushes-back-on-criticism |access-date=2024-08-28 |website=Jewish Telegraphic Agency |language=en-US}}</ref>

[[Tucker Carlson]], in an interview with a former yeshiva student, observed that the yeshiva system, with its emphasis on asking questions, "seems like a great education".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rosenfeld |first=Reuven |date=2024-08-13 |title=Tucker Carlson Lauds Yeshiva Education as a Model for Success - VINnews |url=https://vinnews.com/2024/08/13/tucker-carlson-lauds-yeshiva-education-as-a-model-for-success/ |access-date=2024-08-28 |language=en-US}}</ref>
