> Ashkenazi and general Jewish culture values education more than anyone

I would recommend you to visit Israel and traditional orthodox jews. Women are serving as "birthing machines", constantly pregnant, and doing all house chores. Education for women is strongly discouraged. Men are "studying", but useless memorizing of old texts.

Normal education in western sense is strongly discouraged in traditional jewish culture!

Two things can be true at the same, although I agree with your assessment of future prospects - and the recent OECD report on school performance could be read that way too (or blamed on the war as the government has).

That is only one part of Israeli society.
