Since the 1990s, Israel has gone through a significant academic educational expansion. However, the part of the Israeli citizen Palestinian Arab population in this expansion was delayed until the last decade. The purpose of this paper is to explore the nature of the delayed participation of the Arab population in academic educational expansion. Using age-period-cohort models and labor force surveys from 1995 until 2021, I present the trends in the increasing participation of Palestinian Arabs and Jews in academic education. The results suggest that the primary cause of this increase was a change in gender norms that enabled Palestinian Arab women to engage more fully in educational pursuits. The differences among the Arab population (Muslims, Druze, and Christians) are also discussed.

自 20 世纪 90 年代以来，以色列经历了一次重大的学术教育扩张。然而，部分以色列公民巴勒斯坦阿拉伯人口的这一扩张却被推迟到了近十年。本文的目的是探讨阿拉伯人口延迟参与学术教育扩张的本质。我利用 1995 年至 2021 年的年龄阶段队列模型和劳动力调查，呈现了巴勒斯坦阿拉伯人和犹太人参与学术教育的趋势。结果表明，这一增长的主要原因是性别规范的变化，使巴勒斯坦阿拉伯妇女能够更充分地参与教育活动。还讨论了阿拉伯人口（穆斯林、德鲁兹人和基督徒）之间的差异。
