`Emigration Improving' Jerusalem (JTA) — "One of the two conditions Foreign Minister Shimon Peres has set for Soviet participation in the Middle East peace process is being fulfilled — that re- quiring significant improve- ment in the treatment of Soviet Jews, particularly in the matter of emigration," highly placed government sources said Sept. 15. The other condition is reestablishment of diplomatic relations Moscow broke with Israel during the 1967 Six- Day War. With respect to Jewish emigration, Absorption Minister Yaacov Tsur told a Haifa audience that there was no denying the change that has taken place in Soviet exit policy. He noted that 5,000 Jews have been allow- ed to leave the USSR so far this year. "But this is not the dramatic change we are hop- ing for," he said. Learning Gap In Israel Grows Tel Aviv (JTA) — The educa- tion gap between Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews in Israel has widened in recent years and Sephardim even lag behind Israeli Arabs in academic degrees, according to a survey by Dr. Yaakov Nahon of the Jerusalem In- stitute for Israel Studies, published Sept. 16. Nahon found that only 6.1 percent of Sephardi Jews bet- ween the ages of 30 and 35 have attended institutions of higher learning compared to 28.3 percent of Ashkenazi Jews in the same age bracket. Among young Arabs, 8.8 per- cent hold bachelor degrees as opposed to 6.1 percent of Sephardic Jews. According to Nahon, the gap is narrower for the older generation, where 2.7 percent of Sephardim had an academic background com- pared to 10.7 percent of Ashkenazim.
