The Director General of the Ministry of Education informed Education Minister Yoav Kish on Friday morning of his decision to leave his position in the ministry.
The ministry's director-general, Assaf Tzalel, said: "I have never belonged to one side or another and I do not choose sides even today. The education system is state and must be maintained as such. It must be taken now, recalculated a route, and also used to mend the rifts. I turn to all the dear educators - I am proud of you and admire your work. Continue in your professional role and fulfill your great responsibility.
As a public representative, I wish to take responsibility and terminate my position. The rift we have reached does not allow me to continue to fulfill my responsibility properly, and as a result, this morning, 10 Av 5723, I informed the Minister of Education of my decision to terminate my position in the Ministry.
I thank Minister Yoav Kisch for the opportunity, friendship and true and sincere partnership, I strongly believe in the work plan that we will implement together for the coming years and I am convinced that the Minister will know how to lead the vital system, which he loves so much and works for, to even better places up the road.
As a pilot, I will continue to fly and serve in the IDF with my head held high, because that is the meaning of the sentence – 'I have no other country even if my land is burning.'
