At the forefront at the height of the wave of morbidity:
The chairman of the organization of post-primary teachers, Ran Erez, this evening (Thursday) congratulated the education system on operating almost fully, but asked to allow teachers who would like to zoom in. Erez sent a letter to Education Minister Yifat Shasha Bitton and chairman Local Government Haim Bibbs.
>> Less than a day after starting: change in the exemption from isolation <<
"First of all, I strengthen your hands in the decisions you have recently made regarding the operation of the education system regarding the abolition of isolation and I trust your leadership," he began.
The education system needs clear decisions, especially if they are in dispute and not by consensus of all parties, and they certainly cannot be in consensus and are acceptable to 100% of those involved.
It is not easy and yet you have met it. "
Seeks to consider teaching staff.

However, Erez added: "Nevertheless, I address you with a request regarding post-primary education and hope you find it appropriate to consider my application: the median age of teachers is 52 in post-primary education. This means that half of the teaching staff are over this age and some with Background diseases: This does not eliminate the danger that also exists with regard to younger teachers, since they are equally exposed.
"In order to overcome the existing danger to the health of these teachers, as well as their concerns that I find very justified, I would very much like to allow teachers as much as they want and in coordination with school principals, to teach from home. "It's fundamental, especially when we know students are not tested and most of them are not vaccinated.
Erez concluded: "Your motto has always been that teachers are the greatest asset and should be maintained. In light of this, I would appreciate it if it was your turn for principals in post-primary education to allow zooming in on those who need it in order to solve the problem of sick students. There will be a need for hybrid learning that makes it even more difficult for the education system and the work of teachers. "
"Makes the cry of the teaching staff"
The one who makes a much more militant tone is the secretary general of the Teachers' Union, Yaffa Ben-David, who this evening attacked News Minister Yifat Shasha Bitton on News 13. "With all due respect to the Minister of Education, I represent the teaching staff.
She should have shouted their cry, "she said.
Last night, Shasha Bitton announced that the Ministry of Education would seek restraining orders and claimed that Ben-David was waging a "political and forceful struggle on the backs of the students. Ben-David said tonight," The Minister of Education also believes in all teaching staff. in the country.
She did not shout their cry and she should have been attentive. "

This morning, the court issued restraining orders for a strike planned for today.
However, 1.5 million students are still waiting to know what will happen to them tomorrow and early next week and are waiting for the decision of the Labor Court.
Education Minister Shasha Bitton responded to Ben-David's remarks: "Yaffa Ben-David shatters the fragile routine of children and parents and harms them. She knew about the outline, which is accepted by many experts, for a week and agreed to it. Her conduct does not reflect teachers' dedication on the ground."
