I sent my sons to YTV and Mir both with at least to me the Secular Department was competent. I didn’t realize that they were low level of Talmudic studies. Every year student switch from one yeshiva to the next so I don’t see why it was necessary to report the yeshiva to the Dept of Education.

Closing Yeshivas should not be done because where would the students go? But likewise there is a limit what the government can do. There is the separation of church & state. The only thing they can do is encourage the yeshiva to teach more secular studies by giving them more benefits (money). But once they give more money to these yeshivas it will encourage other yeshivas who are meeting the standards to apply for these benefit too. Nobody want the Board of Ed ( Dept of Education)to be paying students tuition for the parents. That’s were we are heading. If they want to dictate the curriculum they should have to pay for it.
