On video: 1 billion shekels for special education and the opening of the registration areas: Kish marks goals (L.A.M.)
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Education Minister Yoav Kish will deliver a statement this evening (Sunday), in which they will present their plan for free education up to the age of three.
Free education up to the age of three was one of Netanyahu's election promises in the last election campaign.
The first phase of the program has already entered as part of the biennial state budget.

Last month, dozens of educators and academics addressed a letter to the Minister of Education Yoav Kish criticizing the plan that the government is promoting for free education from the age of two, ahead of a decisive discussion of the plan that will take place tomorrow at the Prime Minister's Office.
In the letter, they call on Kish "not to miss the opportunity to improve the quality of preschool education", which, in their view, the plan misses.
The group includes leading experts in the field such as Prof. Yossi Shavit from Tel Aviv University, Prof. Avi Sagi-Schwartz from Haifa University, Prof. Tzipora Liebman, president of the Kibbutzim College, Prof. Ofra Koret from Bar Ilan University and many others. The group requested an urgent meeting with The minister "before final decisions are made regarding the manner of implementing the plan and its scope".
