Following recent reports and test results showing yeshiva students not receiving an adequate education, New Yorkâ€™s Board of Regents will vote this week on a proposal that would allow the state to reject a yeshivaâ€™s secular curriculum.

Critics of the schools have long said that graduating students are not receiving an education that prepares them for a modern job market. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
