On video: 1 billion shekels for special education and the opening of the registration areas: Kish marks goals (L.A.M.)
The teachers and the Ministry of Finance have not yet come to an agreement on the salary, and the teachers' organization announced today (Tuesday) that the 11th grade classes will be postponed until 12:00 tomorrow, in all high schools in the country. Ran Erez, the chairman of the teachers' organization, demands that the salary of the teachers starting in higher Elementary will start at NIS 12,000, and the salary of veteran teachers will rise accordingly.
"We will not lend a hand to the continued humiliation of secondary education teachers in Israel," he said.
The national student and youth council and the national parent leadership attacked the teachers' organization's move.
"On the day that the Ministry of Education announces a new baccalaureate curriculum that harms students, Ran Erez sees fit to harm the students again and shut down the studies of 11th grade students tomorrow, at a time when many of them are supposed to be in reinforcements for the upcoming matriculation exams," the National Council of Students and Youth said, and called on the government ministries "To come to your senses and prevent such slight harm to the students."

Miron Schiff, the chairman of the national leadership of parents, joined the conversation and said, "A sad day for the education system.
In the afternoon the Ministry of Education announces a program that harms the future of our children, in the evening we were informed that the teachers' organization continues to punish the students in an effort to subdue the Ministry of Education.
First he affected the trips, he continued with the ban on giving grades and tomorrow he is suspending studies - sad and shameful."
About two weeks ago, Ran Erez threatened regional strikes, in protest of the Ministry of Finance's proposal for the new collective agreement, in which he demanded a 30% increase in the salary of all teachers in secondary education. According to him, The Ministry of Finance offers a "disgraceful" increase of 2% for veteran teachers and NIS 500 for the rest of the teachers.
