In response to the new matriculation reform presented by the Ministry of Education last month, the teachers' organization will hold a press conference today (Monday) during which the organization's chairman, Ran Erez, is expected to present the steps he intends to take in the fight against Education Minister Yifat Shasha Bitton's plan.
As will be recalled, the new reform is expected to focus on heritage, society and the spirit, as part of which the external matriculation exams in history, literature, Bible and citizenship will be abolished, and students will submit papers instead.
Shasha Bitton said at the time that "Today's world is changing at a rapid pace and the teaching method must adapt itself in adulthood as well. Therefore, we are embarking on a revolutionary move, which is changing the matriculation system in Israel, Education ".
