Almost every person in Israel has a connection or connection to the field of education - whether as a child or adolescent in the system, whether as a parent of children educated in the educational framework or as an employee of the education system or its provider.



In recent years, there have been significant developments in the field of education in Israel, for example in the field of special education as well as in the field of recognized non-formal education.

In addition, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of parental involvement in the education system.



The issue of education is backed up in Israel by broad legislation that began before the establishment of the state.

This legislation is in addition to the right to education recognized in the UN Declaration of Human Rights as well as in the Declaration of the Rights of the Child



. Lawyer and mediator Talia Barzani, an expert in education law, on ways to deal with these situations.

Workers 'and students' rights in the education system



"In fact, I see three main areas in which there is an interface between education and law issues," says Advocate Barzani



.

"The people in charge of running the school should employ staff and be financially and contractually with the staff - teachers, assistants and anyone employed within the school, as well as adhere to the circulars of the director general of the Ministry of Education regarding the administrative policy of the Ministry of Education," she explains.



"Ministry of Education employees have various rights related, among other things, to collective agreements, and they do not always accept them. In these situations, the legal aspect comes into play and the need for the intervention of a lawyer who represents the employee and ensures that he receives his rights in full."



According to Advocate Barzani, another branch associated with the management of the school system is the field of insurance and torts. In cases of injuries and injuries of students, personal accident insurance should address students all year round, even if they were not at school at the time of injury. " "A person who handles tort claims with the Ministry of Education needs to know what insurance coverage is required for a contract with an external provider and for the purpose of special school activities in order to check whether the existing insurance complies with the regulations," says Adv. Barzani.

Allocations and Allocations from the Ministry of Education and the Local Authority



The second interface between the legal world and the educational world, according to Adv. Barzani, is the connection between the school or the education network with the local authority and the Ministry of Education. The book and its operating budgets.



"This area raises various questions of principle and dilemmas regarding priorities - both in the official system and especially in the recognized unofficial system," says Adv. Barzani.

"In the unofficial framework, there is sometimes a need for legal support for the implementation of the Nahari Law - a section in the State Education Law, according to which a local authority must budget for students of a recognized non-formal institution at a rate of 65% to 75% of students at a similar official institution." The legal is sometimes required to examine criteria and criteria for allocating resources to educational institutions. "



Student decisions: Disputes between the family and the education system



The third interface between the education system and the legal field is related to the connection between the school and the education system with the student and his family.



This area, explains Adv. Barzani

, involves an in-depth understanding of the right to education, at all levels, and how to make decisions concerning the student.

On the subject of placements, transfers and registration, as well as discrimination in the education system.

"Both the issues of assistance and personal responses, as well as the issue of transportation, bother parents," adds Adv. Barzani



.

The field requires expertise and a special understanding of legislation and case law, as well as the ability to deeply understand the needs of the child and his family. "



According to Advocate Barzani, this area can also include a variety of issues related to disputes between parents, including divorced parents on issues related to their children's education and require the consent of both parties, such as transferring a child to a reinforcement class



. "Between the education system and the welfare system in a variety of aspects concerning the welfare of the child," says Adv. Barzani.

"Legal representation is sometimes required in this area in the forums of the Authority and of the Ministry of Education such as characterization committees as well as in administrative petitions against the same parties."



"While the first two areas are mainly property law, I see the third area as the law of souls. The implications of the educational system on the individual and his family are deep and ongoing and therefore in some cases the intervention of a legal entity with expertise and deep understanding, appropriate professional agenda and love for the field. ".



Advocate Barzani concludes: “It is important to remember that the involvement of a lawyer often changes the Ministry of Education's approach to an issue that requires treatment and streamlines the process.

The success rates in these cases are very high. "
