A math teacher from a prestigious settlement education school is suspected of sexually harassing schoolgirls.
A complaint against the teacher from the center of the country has been filed with the police, and he is expected to be questioned.
According to various testimonies of schoolgirls, over a period of time the teacher has committed inappropriate acts.
However, despite the serious allegations, the teacher continues to teach at the school and was only transferred from the classroom where the complaining students study - but was not expelled from the school.
The Ministry of Education responded: "Ensuring the protection of students within educational institutions is a basic principle, and the ministry takes all necessary steps to ensure that this important principle is observed. The ministry took complaints seriously and dealt with them immediately. In doing so, to ensure students' safety and security. "The teacher was separated from the students. The matter was transferred to the police for investigation and the ministry is in contact with them to accompany the issue and exhaust the investigation as soon as possible. We are closely accompanying the teaching staff and students to provide a proper response."
In contrast, in a letter written by the principal of the parents' school, he claims that, "we have been experiencing in the last two days an unprecedented brawl that has gone out of all proportion" (against the teacher).
The principal writes that according to what he understood from the police - there is no concrete suspicion of an offense being committed by the same teacher.
