  "summary": "Nearly one in three Israeli students is considering leaving the country after graduation due to soaring living costs, according to a recent poll by the National Union of Israeli Students. The survey, conducted ahead of the new academic year, reveals that the average Israeli student's monthly expenses have reached NIS 6,907, with nearly half of students relying on financial assistance from their parents. The survey also highlights the emotional and social difficulties faced by students who served in the reserves, with 64% reporting such challenges upon returning to their studies. Additionally, 38% of all students believe their academic institutions are not adequately preparing them for the age of artificial intelligence and changes in the labor market.",
