It should be noted that these are not necessarily math lessons, English, etc., but it can also be social activities in order to maintain contact and routine with the students.
The return to physical activity in educational institutions will begin on Wednesday, subject to Home Front Command directives. The one who makes the decision whether studies will be held and where the Home Front Command is, not the Ministry of Education. The warming in the northern sector may also shut down some classes in certain areas, and it is currently unknown when students in the south will return to regular learning.

However, the decision whether to conduct online studies will be made at the discretion of the principals. The reason is that there are schools that simply cannot operate online learning, such as schools in the south and the Gaza envelope.
In addition, there are teachers who are in reserve, teaching staff, including teachers and kindergarten teachers who are still searching for their loved ones, as well as those who have been injured. The distance learning that came during the coronavirus pandemic was accompanied by quite a few difficulties, unskilled teachers and students without computers and means of communication.

Although the students do not go to school, many of them have decided to donate, they enlist in helping the elderly, packing food for soldiers and more. The National Council of Students and Youth has launched the "Coming to the Aid of a Friend" website, which presents all the existing aid initiatives established by citizens and aid organizations, so that it will be possible to mediate help to those who need it and to publicize the variety of initiatives and donations that can be made in every possible field.
