The college currently has 2,500 learners, of which 60% are students in the Education and Teaching professions, while the rest are in continuing education programs, advanced studies, professional development and external studies.

Ohalo College was established in 1964 in memory of Berl Katznelson by the Ministry of Education and the Centre of Education and Culture of the Histadrut as a teacher training college near Kvutzat Kinneret by the Sea of Galilee.

The main aim of the project is to create a dialogue on Holocaust issues.

In addition, the German youth is exposed to the relations between the Arab and Jewish sectors in Israel.

The department introduced new courses in Media, Linguistics, Culture and Literature [4] and hired new faculty members who are well published scholars and experts on pedagogy, literary and cultural theory, linguistics and almost any other conceivable facet of English Studies.
