In a joint project with the Jewish Agency, Israeli businessman Nohi Dankner on Monday revealed plans to invest nearly $50 million in education projects in northern Israel.
Dankner, who heads the IDB investment consortium, toured northern communities with Jewish Agency head Zeev Bielski and Education Minister Yuli Tamir.
"The society we live in is no less important than the companies we manage," Dankner told Ynet during the visit.
Tamir said her ministry would use the money to upgrade education facilities in the north. "There are no quality education buildings in many northern communities and we want to upgrade the buildings and give students the chance to study in an acceptable educational atmosphere," she said.
