Tsf"b school year, is expected to open tomorrow (Wednesday), will not be like any other academic year - as a result of Israel's confrontation with the corona virus.
Following the decision of the Cabinet of sources, from tomorrow will be a difference between red cities in Israel and the rest of the cities according to plan traffic light In other words, if in green, yellow and orange localities the studies are conducted as normal - then in cities and red localities, and there are over 150 such in Israel - the studies will not be conducted as normal.
What will happen in the red localities?
With regard to the red localities in Israel, the decision was made that in kindergartens, daycare centers as well as in grades 1-4, the studies will be conducted as normal without capsules.
Students, as happens all over the country, will be required to wear a mask throughout the lessons.
In grades 5-7, learning will be conducted in different formats, of smaller groups or in open spaces.
In eighth-twelfth grades, learning in the school will depend on the percentage of 70 percent of students being vaccinated or recovering in class.
In case there is not 70 percent, then it will be necessary to reduce the classes and divide them into groups, take them out into the open or decide to conduct the studies through the zoom.
It is important to note that according to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's decision, during the month of September, even students who have only received the first dose of vaccine will be considered vaccinated.
From the available data, it appears that there are currently 65 red authorities according to the traffic light plan of the Ministry of Health.
Also, there are 4,516 classes in which less than 70 percent of exemption exemptions will be taught remotely.
