First publication: A high school session manager at the center employed a teacher who sexually harassed, without getting permission. The teacher is fired and the Ministry of Education will initiate disciplinary proceedings against the principal.

The Ministry of Education has been fighting the phenomenon of pedophile teachers and sex offenders employed in schools in recent years, including elementary schools. That's why two years ago a new system was launched and the procedures were sharpened. Principals who want to hire a teacher must get permission and check their name in an Education Ministry repository, where a long list of teachers who are barred from hiring is listed because they have been accused or convicted of harming minors.

This is an English teacher who was fired from his job in 2017 for sexual harassment and immediately blocked in the system. He was charged with sexually assaulting a girl in 2017 when he was employed as a high school teacher.

The director of the Yeshiva in the central area picked up the teacher several months ago without getting permission for his employment. The principal did not report his employment for a period of time, and when he tried to do so, the Ministry of Education found that he should not be employed. As a result, the teacher was fired and a police complaint was filed against him. In addition, the Ministry of Education intends to take action against the principal who employed them without permission.

The Ministry of Education said: "As a result of actions carried out by the Control and Enforcement Division in the Ministry, the school was found to be illegally employing the employee. The employee was removed from him and filed a complaint with the police.
