The World Scholar’s Cup Tournament of Champions is a prestigious international competition, in which 3600 students from 60 countries around the world compete for international intellectual acclaim.
Petah Tikva Mayor Rami Greenberg praised the students for their excellent achievements and said they demonstrated the excellent educational level of the city’s schools.
“This [achievement] brings great pride to the city’s education system. The students’ accomplishments are impressive and inspiring and were certainly made possible only thanks to their dedication to in-depth studying and mentoring of the teachers Dalia Ben Asa and Yaffa Gluska. Good job, everyone, and way to go champions! “
