Zalman Shazar (1889-1974), politician, author, poet, journalist, and Israel's third president, appears on the obverse of the NIS 200 banknote of series I of the New Sheqel. Shazar's lifelong preoccupation with education is reflected by the Candelabrum formed from DNA molecule, as a symbol to the progress of science.
The banknote's reverse shows a girl pupil at work, with Hebrew characters floating around her, symbolizing Shazar's efforts during his tenure as minister of education to reform Israel's education system, culminating in the compulsory education law of 1949, stipulating that each child between age 3 and 18 must receive compulsory education. Today, education in Israel is not only compulsory, but also free until completion of secondary school.
