The Trump Foundation concentrates primarily on the study of Mathematics and the Sciences, with an emphasis on the way these subjects are taught in Israeli secondary schools. We aim to change the troubling course of performance in these areas, confronting the decline in the number of high schools which offer Physics studies; the deteriorating number of students taking advanced tracks in Mathematics; and the sidelining of Science studies in middle schools.
