The "Access for All" program provides an access to the center of power and public knowledge – the University – for all people; especially those who have no other way to reach this knowledge center. As part of the program, the university opens its gates to weakened populations and enables them to acquire essential and practical education in an academic environment. The program was founded by MK Dr. Adi Koll and has been operating in the Tel Aviv University since 2005, in the Ben Gurion University in Be'er Sheva since 2010, in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem since 2013 and in the Haifa University since 2014. 2,400 participants and 95 students are participating in the program in 4 universities in this academic year. The "Access for All" participants, adults and youth, are referred to the program by the welfare authorities, and study in unique introductory courses tailored for them in the academic fields of medicine, law, business and psychology, taught by outstanding BA students. The participants arrive from complicated socio-economical background, after dropping out of other educational environments, and suffer from major knowledge gaps. The program provides them with basic practical knowledge in order to enable them to cope their joy of learning, and to provide them with the will and tools to keep on studying and progressing.
