The paper looks critically at fonnal education in Israel in so far as it is conceived as a measure for advancing the welfare of the poor and for mitigating socio-economic gaps. Four major arguments which provide rationales for government's support of fonnal education are presented and policy implications of these arguments are discussed in tenns of the prospects they hold for children and youth from poor families in Israel. Evidence for the actual consequences of implemented policies is searched for in official data and in findings of relevant studies.
