Selected answer:ORT
Explanation:
Yokneam Illit (Hebrew: יָקְנְעָם עילית‎‎), also Yoqne'am Illit and Jokneam Illit is a town southeast of Haifa in northern Israel. It is located in a hilly region of the lower Galilee, bordered by Highway 70 and Mount Carmel. Yokneam Illit is at the base of the Carmel Mountains and overlooks the Jezreel Valley, 21 kilometres (13 mi) from Haifa and 80 kilometres (50 mi) from Tel Aviv. Yokneam Illit had a population of 18,600 at the end of 2007.[1] The town has developed as a centre for high tech businesses, due to its proximity to the Technion in eastern Haifa.

There are 950 pupils at the ORT school in Yokneam and it has chalked up numerous educational successes.

By great good fortune, a Palestinian plot to blow up a large comprehensive school in the small town of Yokneam east of Haifa was foiled.

What does ORT stand for?
ORT was founded in Tsarist Russia in 1880. The name 'ORT' was coined from the acronym of the Russian words Obshestvo Remeslenofo zemledelcheskofo Truda, meaning The Society for Trades and Agricultural Labour.

It is an acronym that has stuck through 130 years of education and training, moving from its roots in Russia to become a global organisation, hence the name World ORT. ORT is proud of its history and roots, and that it still carries the moto of "Educating for Life" into today.

Reference information:
ORT statt ROT?

The director of the ORT schools in the north of the country, Dr. Orna Simhon, stood yesterday outside building number six of the ORT-Allon comprehensive school in Yokneam, directing the media coverage at the site where a Palestinian bomber had planned to carry out an attack:

http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/yokneam-in-shock-a...

ORT-Israel (Organization for Rehabilitation through Training) operates a network of 125 educational institutions with approximately 80,000 students ranging in age from 13 to over 60 and with a staff of teachers, management and administrators numbering about 7,000. Approximately 25 percent of ORT's student body falls into the category of socially, economically or emotionally deprived in need of special attention to their learning needs. ORT has researched, developed and implemented several programs dealing with this population.

Die World ORT (Organisation – Reconstruction – Training) ist eine Nichtregierungsorganisation, die 1880 in Russland als „Gesellschaft für handwerkliche und landwirtschaftliche Arbeit (unter Juden)“ gegründet wurde. Der Sitz von ORT wurde 1921 nach Berlin verlegt und befindet sich heute in Genf. In der über hundertjährigen Geschichte ihres Bestehens haben weit über eine Million Menschen eine schulische Ausbildung bei ORT durchlaufen. Die Organisation ist heute in 58 Ländern weltweit tätig.
