Another significant controversy is over the promotion of vaccines in schools.

While the Ministry of Health seeks to bring vaccine mobility into the education system and in this way encourage vaccinations among students, the Minister of Education does not want to create pressure on parents and make vaccines a condition for entry into schools.



Additional gaps have been created regarding the orange and red localities.

The Ministry of Education wants to allow administrative flexibility for school principals in cases of increased morbidity.

As far as the Ministry of Education is concerned the autonomy should be that of the principal, at the school level, and it is he who will decide whether to enable distance learning and return capsules.

The Ministry of Health is not prepared for such a policy.

And Nitzan is not willing to shorten the days of isolation because this is the position of his professionals. "The second option is for you to sit together and in a joint dialogue you will find compromises, as is expected of you. You know how to work together in dialogue."

In addition, during the discussion, the Ministry of Health proposed to leverage the fact that the ultra-Orthodox education system starts earlier than the state one, on August 22, and to pilot the isolation policy for 48 hours for a week.



As of today, even before the start of the school year, the number of those isolated in the education system has crossed the 40,000 mark.

With the new isolation policy that the Minister of Education is trying to promote, it can be expected that this number will decrease from September 1, even if there is an increase in morbidity.
