In Israel of 2012, there were a significant number of students interested in and capable of studying five-unit mathematics and science, yet they did not do so because their schools did not offer these classes. This situation resulted from the fact that many schools are unable to recruit teachers, or due to the small number of students, they cannot justify opening a class.

The solution to this problem is to train a new generation of excellent teachers. However, the process of professional training and development of teachers is long-term. In addition, the work conditions of small schools in distant locations mean that they have difficulty opening these classes, and this situation is expected to continue. Thus, in order to expand access to opportunity for students in these schools, distance learning must be made available to students who are ready to accept the challenge.
