The teachers of the Hebrew studios will shut down the studios throughout the country this morning (Sunday), against the background of the wage struggle they have been conducting for the past few months - this is what Wala learned!.
Hundreds of Hebrew teachers in the various studios announced this morning that they will use their sick days and not come to teach.
As a result, the studios will remain closed and no classes will be held in them.
In recent months, the Hebrew teachers, who belong to the Ministry of Education and are represented by the Teachers' Union, have been fighting, demanding that a new wage agreement be applied to them that will improve their salary.
The studio teachers, represented by the Teachers' Union, were not included in the new Ofek agreement, similar to the school teachers, nor in the salary agreement signed last summer between the Ministry of Finance and the Teachers' Union.
As a result, the salary of the teachers has not been updated in the last 15 years.
A beginning teacher in the studios receives a minimum wage supplement in her salary.
The studios have lost all ability to recruit new teachers and the sector is shrinking.

In recent months, there have been several discussions in the various committees of the Knesset regarding the salary of the studio teachers, but without results.
At the last admissions committee, the chairman of the committee said that the Israeli government's policy towards the studio teachers is harmful to the State of Israel. In a year when 72,000 immigrants arrive, about 1,000 of them are immigrant doctors who are forced to wait six months waiting for the studio. According to reports from the last admissions committee held last week, 350 out of the 1,000 are doctors. have already returned to their country, among other things, due to absorption difficulties.
The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Education do not reach an understanding between themselves regarding the budgetary source required for the teachers' entry into the salary agreement, and this despite the fact that it is a low and negligible amount relative to the costs of the other salary agreements of the teaching staff. The issue has been pushed to the bottom of the priorities of The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Education and the teachers are leaving.
