Education Minister Yoav Galant announced today (Wednesday) a new outline that he intends to implement with the resumption of classes in grades 1-4 this coming Sunday.
According to the plan, first-second grades will operate at least four days a week, with third-fourth grades dropped from five school days to four.
This, for only two weeks, when the government will then decide whether to continue in the same format.
It was also decided that both the education staff and the students in grades 1-4 will be required to wear masks, contrary to the Ministry of Health's guidelines in the past.
The new plan presented by Galant differs from the outline approved by the government, according to which first and second grades will study in a half-grade format - half a week from homes and half a week in intermittent institutions, and third-fourth grades will study in capsules for five days a week.

Main outlines of the new curriculum for grades 1-4:
Starting Sunday:
Grades 3-4 dropped to 4 school days a week
Grades 1-2 will study at least 4 days a week at institutions
Students and teaching staff will be required to wear masks in class
The outline is for two weeks only
"The program that was on September 1 and after the closure has been updated. In light of the budget restrictions, I made a decision to teach at least four days in grades 1-4. Once we release a day of learning from grades 3-4, we can copy it for first and second grades." Galant said.
"The resources I have mobilized for this system are those that can enable five school days and 13,000 teachers who make up 15% of the teaching power in each elementary school. This allows for flexibility in all places."
According to him, he is currently conducting a dialogue with school principals and with heads of authorities to extend the school days to five days.
"Principals are the heroes of the second wave. They carry the burden and do it on the ground, and in the end the main thing is that students and parents need certainty," Galant added.
"Within the system, as it operates, we will work to stabilize this axis to allow them stability."
5th-6th graders will continue distance learning.

Galant added that "there is an impairment in the acquisition of critical basic skills, such as reading and writing. High school students are approaching matriculation and need a full educational framework. The process in which the economy is open without an educational framework - increases dropout."
According to the minister, the Ministry of Education receives evidence from statistical tests, according to which there is an increase in students experiencing distress or anxiety, with two-thirds of them experiencing personal difficulty from the crisis.
In addition, there is an increase in the use of screen time which increases the feelings of depression and anger.
Also, there is a decrease in the physical activity of the students which leads to weight gain.
There has also been an increase in harm within the family, and there is difficulty in locating these cases by teaching staff.
According to the Ministry of Education, there are 1,716 patients in Corona in the education system, of whom 707 are elementary school students.
The morbidity rate among them in relation to all patients in Israel is 5.52%, while they constitute 11.68% of the population.

At the same time, members of the Education Committee today voted unanimously in favor of canceling an installation that allows for study in open space, while limiting up to 15 students per group and at a distance of one hundred meters. The committee called on the Ministries of Education and Health to amend the regulation, and to allow learning in groups of 20 students in the open spaces and at a distance of 50 meters between groups.
The Education Committee's decision means that starting tomorrow, students in grades 5-12 will not be able to meet with staff in the open.
