2.4 million students will return tomorrow (Monday) from a long Passover holiday to the school bench.
Since their release, there has been a dramatic decline in the morbidity data of the entire population, and the education system in particular, the economy has fully opened up - and only the outline of studies has hardly changed.
Most of the education system - fifth-twelfth grades - will continue to study only two days a week for a few hours a day.
Mayors, educators, parents and students demand to open the education system fully in light of the decline in data, but the Ministry of Health continues to fortify their position. There will be no increase in morbidity in Corona following the holiday, in which extended families met.After the full opening of the economy, the main tool left in the hands of the Ministry of Health to control morbidity is the restrictions on the education system.
Restrictions in the education system
Kindergartens: 6 days a week, full groups
Grades 1-3: 5 days a week, full grades
4th graders: 5 days a week, group halves
5th-12th: At least two days a week, group halves

A., a mother of a ninth-grade student from Jerusalem, says that her son's mental state has deteriorated over the past year as a result of the restrictions imposed on the education system.
"He's anxious, he does not know what it's like to be outside, and it's been a year like this, it's crazy. He has to be in a frame, get up every morning and wash his face. I'll have to take him to psychological and psychiatric treatment, who will fund it?"
Middle school students were the main victims of government decisions: since the beginning of the school year on September 1, they had only studied in schools for about 16 days, assuming they were in green and yellow localities.
"My son goes back to school two days a week - on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for a few hours," says A.
"Because there is no orderly framework he does not want to go back, he tells me: 'Mom, leave, there are no more studies, it's not serious, when there is a real framework - then I will come back."
She points an accusing finger at decision makers.
"It's just a terrible failure of the state, that they let everyone roam free in the malls, open the sky, but they forgot our teens, let them get into depressive and anxious situations. It's a terrible lawlessness."
"Just a terrible failure of the state."

Reinforcement from local authorities

"Millions of students must be returned to full routine, capsules removed immediately, students and their parents freed from the academic, social and emotional quarantine imposed on them," said local government center chairman Haim Bibbs. "The education system should be a top priority. It is inconceivable that the whole economy is open and is the last to return to full function. "The
chairman of the national parent leadership, Merom Schiff, added that" there is no logic in the outline that leaves children at home and not in the education system, when the whole economy is open. "To work to maximize the remaining period for full-time studies and to provide an emotional and social response to the children. It is a pity for every day and a pity for every moment."
Professor Ratzaf Levy from the School of Business Administration at MIT warns of the long-term damage of the corona year to Israeli students. He said, "The State of Israel and the Ministry of Health have abandoned the children of Israel out of opacity and short-sightedness, and caused them extensive damage to health and others, a significant part of which is not even irreversible. Created including in the social inequality that was further intensified. "
The leaders' organization said that "the education system will resume operations after Passover tomorrow, and the government seems to have missed it. Despite the dramatic improvement in morbidity, the opening of the whole economy and the reality of vaccines - the Ministry of Education has not promised a return to learning." In the short time remaining, and the insistence illogical to leave the education system as an island of life in capsules, is unacceptable.
