During the rule of the British Mandate , the education system of Tel Aviv was considered one of the city's greatest achievements which also reflected its growth and development as a Hebrew city. It was also the largest educational network in the country which strengthened the city's position and political power versus other national institutions and versus the government of the British Mandate. Ever since the establishment of the State of Israel, the city of Tel Aviv has insisted on preserving the autonomy over its educational system. However, due to budgetary constraints arising from the expenditure caused by the War of Independence and the problems of accommodating a growing number of students, the city needed additional government funds. It took some persuasion to get the Israeli government to participate in maintaining the system. This paper examines the Israeli government's attitude towards the educational system of Tel Aviv and thereby also the attitude of the central government towards the city in general.
