The State of Israel's official Arabic-language X/Twitter account posted the education statistics for the country's Muslim population on Tuesday, citing the Central Bureau of Statistics.
The information was posted to mark the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice), which also served as the reference point for the statistics.
The post noted that the Israeli Muslim population has a growth rate of 1.8%, and accounts for nearly 19% of the country's total population, with the plurality living in Jerusalem.
According to the post, over three-quarters of Israel's nearly 409,000 Muslim students are eligible for their Bagrut certificate (high school diploma), with almost 50,000 enrolled in Israeli higher education institutions.
Progress of female Muslims
An emphasis was made on the progress of Israel's female Muslim students, who outnumber their male counterparts by more than double in enrollment for their first university degree, a statistic the post referred to as "surprising information."
In addition to education, the post noted the overall participation of the Muslim population in the country's labor force, which stands at just over 50%. In this case, males outperform females by more than 50%.
"How is the situation in your countries?" asked the post, concluding with a request for readers to share their information with the account.
