Blich Highschool students in the city of Ramat-Gan in Israel will be the first among Israeli high-school students to go through extensive Chinese language studies. Here’s a translation from Hebrew for the NetoNews article  :

Bliecher - "Ramat-Gan City is leading a revolution in language study, to enrich the highschool students with a variety of languages to help the young students in their road towards international business success".

Berlitz language school [...] will teach Chinese at Blich high-school. Studies, commencing today, are made possible through a unique first-ever collaboration with the Ramat-Gan city council.

According to Gadi Bliecher, CEO of Berlitz Israel, the purpose of this initiative is to give the students skills to succeed in the business environment. The Chinese language was chosen because China is considered  a leading economical power and is expected to continue growing in the upcoming decades. At first stage - 20 exceptional 9th graders from Blich high-school will attend the course, later followed by students from Ohel Shem highschool. [...]

The Berlitz study program is based on dialogs and focuses on conversations and everyday events. The new language will be taught using all sorts of social simulations and interactions [...].

It seems as though the Chinese fashion is only getting stronger in Israel, and this is definitely a new peak.
