The Ministry of Finance will budget the other classes for 2021 in accordance with the government's five-year plan, offsetting the classes given in 2020, after the funds have been transferred from the Lottery.

"This decision will provide employment for thousands of workers in various professions," said Minister Katz regarding the conclusion on the allocation of new classes. "The education system should operate as safely and fully as possible to allow children a safe place to study and many parents to go out to work and allow the economy to return to routine and growth."
