The Ministry of Education announced earlier that the educational institutions will operate tomorrow (Monday) in the same format that took place today and in recent weeks, and in accordance with the traffic light model.
Therefore, studies in grades 1-4 will take place in all localities.
However, the fifth-twelfth grades, according to the model, will operate only in green and yellow localities. In red and orange localities, studies will take place remotely.

Studies in this format were made possible after the members of the Education Committee of the Knesset's Constitution Committee earlier reversed the government's decision that all 5th-10th grade students (about 700,000) would study from home during the closure.

As part of the decision, 11th-12th graders will study only in low-morbidity areas, will be able to hold activities in the open area in accordance with the guidelines, will not hold school trips and will not have activities in the field of youth movements.
The secretary general of the Teachers' Union, Yaffa Ben-David, said at the hearing that the organization would declare a labor dispute - and in fact threatened to suspend schooling: "It is true that the countries of the world have not closed the education system, but there are small groups.
We also need to learn in small groups.
If they did, it would be possible to teach routinely and even if there were closures the system would be open.
We will not abandon the teachers. "
The State of Israel entered a third closure at 5:00 PM since the outbreak of the corona epidemic about ten months ago, during which traffic restrictions and trade, recreation and leisure activities will be imposed.
The closure will last for two weeks and will be extended for another two weeks, unless there is a decrease in the daily number of verified persons of at least one thousand and a decrease in the coefficient of infection, which will be less than 1.
