The education system today (Monday) criticized the outline for the opening of the school year decided in the Corona Cabinet.
Among other things, teachers claimed that the Ministry of Education did not directly explain to them the details of the outline.
Parents pointed to tests for students and the arrival of teachers who refuse to be vaccinated or tested in schools as unclear points.
"Unfortunately, the instructions given in the cabinet decision are not clear to all parents," said Odelia Schindorf, deputy chairwoman of the national parents' leadership.
Is there a legal obligation to perform a test before returning to school and what is the law regarding a student who does not perform?
What happens if a teacher or staff member refuses to be tested or vaccinated?
And many more questions. "
However, Shindroff noted that "last night's cabinet decision is a drop of uncertainty within the uncertainty we live in during the Corona period. It opened the door to a sense of sanity and stability for the children. At least the school year opening saga is over. "Because the team that meets the children is protected as much as possible and that also has significant news."

B., a parent from Ma'ale Adumim, said that "the cabinet's instructions are linguistically clear, but not decisive and can be changed in an instant. It is not clear to us, the parents, whether the school year will open or not and whether we will have to prepare for one or another arrangement for children. Conditions?".
"We parents do not have the tools to perform calculations and statistics regarding the percentage of vaccinated in middle age. It is also appropriate to think that in the population of people, education and teaching supporters exist who are not vaccinated and refuse to be tested," he added. "In the current situation, the picture continues to be full of fog, not clear and many question marks in it. After two months of vacation, we would expect at least one exclamation mark."
"Our eldest daughter is not vaccinated and that worries me. What will my life look like? What will the conduct be like in the morning? How do I do the tests for her? I do not think they know what they are really doing in the cabinet," added Chen, a mother of three from Tel Aviv whose children attend school. thorough,Expressed concern about the curriculum.
"I'm worried about life here," she said.
"I'm tired of not being able to decide things on my own on my own. I do not understand what my day is going to look like. We've already got the thoughts of getting out of the country."
"I don't think they know what they're doing."
