The Minister of Welfare, Meir Cohen, was interviewed today (Tuesday) at the "Mental Account" conference of "Israel Today" and said: "Children need to be cared for and this requires rapid detection by the education systems."
The minister said in his opening remarks: "Schools today are less concerned with locating children in distress, and more with matriculation grades. I say this as someone who has been a principal for 25 years. I always ask the education system to open classes for children with disabilities, but they are not interested. Of autistic children. "
He added: "We need to create a reality that every school has a social worker, I work for it and it will take a very long time. We start slowly with this idea and I hope I will assimilate it in the education system, I know what impact social workers have.
"We asked children towards the end of the corona what they needed and it turned out that they mostly want them to listen to them. We are renewing the social and community connection that is very important after the corona."
Regarding the Corona vaccines in the schools: "I studied in elementary school in Yeruham and we had a nurse and I received the vaccines at school and if the Minister of Education agrees to it I back it up."
