According to an article in Ha’aretz (mods, am I allowed to say that? If not, just edit it out) they number of “ultra-Orthodox” university students is on the rise.
These are students at Bnei Brak Haredi College and the Haredi College of Jerusalem, as well as the Safed branch of the Jerusalem College of Technology.
To quote the article: [Adina] Bar-Shalom said ultra-Orthodox society is undergoing significant changes: “People want to earn their daily bread with dignity. They want to be in places where they have strength and influence.
“We also need doctors, psychologists, nurses,” she added, “so that we have our own people who are familiar with our problems.”
Adina Bar-Shalom is the daughter of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef and the founder of the Hareidi College of Jerusalem.
So, it is possible to get a secular education and still not lose your Torah values.
