The unique pre-service teacher education programme for Ethiopian immigrants, operated at a Teacher Education College, encompasses two main approaches to value-oriented education, the pluralistic and particularistic approaches. The programme constitutes a challenging ladder which can reduce the educational, social, cultural, instructional and professional gap of Ethiopians in Israel. This paper presents the humanistic theory perception and displays its characteristics in the unique programme. In order to demonstrate the humanistic education principles in the unique programme, the interviews and documents which accompanied the programme were content analysed. Findings of the case study highlight the applicable and practical components of the humanistic education principle, thus enabling operation of the programme and the success thereof. The insights obtained from the study can facilitate development of unique pre-service teacher education programmes for minority groups that experience difficulties and a gap vis-a-vis mainstream groups.
