End of the collective education[edit]
The kibbutzim evolved and since the mid-1950s and much more so since the 1970s education was very much influenced by the changes. People on the kibbutzim wanted their children to live at home and not in the children's house so communal sleeping arrangements were brought to an end.

Standardization of teaching methods and introducing examinations to kibbutz schools did away with multi-disciplinary learning. Many of the young generation born on the kibbutz left for the big cities so the kibbutzim population shrank and aged. Many kibbutzim went through a process of privatization. Higher education became prevalent together with a decrease in the prominence of agriculture.

All these and other reasons caused the
collectivism to deteriorate and
individualism to win over. This put an end to collective education.
