The Teachers' Union announced today (Sunday) a labor dispute with the Ministry of Finance, claiming that the ministry's staff are "dragging their feet" and causing the teaching staff to leave.

"If the Ministry of Finance continues to drag its feet, it will have to take organizational measures later this year to save the education system from collapsing," said Yaffa Ben-David, secretary general of the Teachers' Union



.

All professionals agree that due to the massive departure of teaching staff it will not be possible to hold regular studies next year, "Ben-David continued." Everyone understands that only a beneficial wage agreement can prevent the collapse of the education system and only finance officials are lazy.

They are disconnected and do not see at all the catastrophic reality we face every day. "

Last week, the director general of the Ministry of Education, Dalit Stauber, responded in an interview with Walla! To the ongoing threat of shutdown. She said



, Persistence of veterans and signs of attrition, "Stauber explained." Beyond that, we are also seeing a decline in college enrollment.

The salaries received by teachers do not reflect the great effort they put in, the hours of work that do not end at the end of the school day and the complex nature of the profession.



" "The state budget for next year so that the Treasury knows what framework it is in. The budget discussions are supposed to begin in June - and for us and the parents, this is critical."
