In an attempt to advance its demands in front of the Ministry of Finance, the local government disabled the services of the local authorities today. The teachers' organization joined the strike, and due to the lack of administrative workers in the elementary schools and kindergartens, they too will not work. "The treasury is trying to make a combination at the expense of the residents, we will not allow it"

The education system is closed today (Thursday) across the country in most settings.

Following the sanctions of the local government center, high schools, municipal kindergartens and daycare centers will not operate comprehensively, and elementary schools will not operate except in individual localities, while special education will be excluded and will work as usual.

More than a million children are expected to stay at home.



The local government announced the strike in an attempt to advance its demands with the Ministry of Finance.

These include, among other things, a new salary agreement for assistants and high school teachers, completion of a shortage in classrooms, transportation of students and special education, and the cancellation of the property tax fund.

At a meeting held last night to align a line ahead of the strike, in which 200 heads of authorities participated, the Chairman of the Local Government Center Haim Biebs placed the responsibility for the disruptions on the government.



"Unfortunately, there is not a single responsible adult in the government to manage the event. If the Treasury invested resources in conducting negotiations as it invests in wrangling the local government, we would have an excellent education system," Bibbs accused. "We cannot let anyone work for us.

The Treasury is trying to make a combination at the expense of the residents and we will not allow it.

We became his cash register.

We are in a time of injuries before the approval of the budget and we will not give up."

They will not operate due to the lack of security guards.

The strike was joined by the teachers' organization, which is conducting negotiations with the Ministry of Finance on a new salary agreement demanding 12,000 shekels for a beginning high school teacher. The teachers' union announced that kindergarteners would not be able to run the kindergartens without an aide, and the elementary schools would not open without security guards. The meaning of the strike The local government center is that the shell workers - security guards, cleaners, secretaries, housekeepers, etc. - employed by the local authorities will not come to the schools. The Director General of the Ministry of Education wrote yesterday morning



that the elementary and middle schools will end at 11:45 or go to learning from home if the manager so chooses and receives the approval of the district manager.

In the letter he sent to the district managers in the office, he stated that the reason was the lack of cleaning workers.

But later he retracted and said that a decision would be made only a day later, and today he informed that elementary and middle schools will not be opened except in institutions where the security services are not related to the municipality.
