Summary/Abstract: The digital era was set to change education, with Israel's Ministry of Education making significant investments in technology integration. Despite these efforts, success has been limited. The COVID-19 pandemic rapidly sped up tech adoption in education but decreased after the pandemic, mirroring similar occurrences worldwide. This article is a case analysis of the past five decades, examining how government and global policies influenced technology integration in education. It uncovers various issues, including ministerial changes disrupting programs, resource shortages, and conflicting stakeholder agendas. Possible solutions include creating a national education council independent of ministry changes and giving more authority to local authorities, allowing them to customize solutions for schools and take responsibility for outcomes.
