After the turmoil over the budget for the Olympic preparations:
"Israel Hayom" has learned that another cut planned in the budget of the sports association for schools has been partially canceled - and that the systems will get a part of it.
In the initial planning, the sports association for schools was not supposed to receive any budget this year, but after discussions with the ministry, it is expected to receive around NIS 5 million, less than half of last year.
The one who was happy about the decision is Ziv Israeli, the CEO of the Sports Association for Schools, who said: "I understood that there was an intention to give some kind of encouragement injection of half the amount.
In recent times, together with the Ministry of Sports, efforts have been made to bring it back to the dimensions where the activity can continue."
"The ministry also sees this as very important, it's not just the exposure of the younger generation to sports activities, there is much more here - it promotes national resilience. Every participation of a boy or girl in such a tournament, certainly of the evacuees from the south who are going through a difficult time, is one The tools to cope".
