The Home Front Command’s announcement on the removal of restrictions on the operation of educational frameworks came out at midnight (Monday) and caused chaos in the education system. In many local authorities they decided not to return to activity today, due to the inability to prepare in time, in other localities the frameworks will open late.
BEshkol Regional Council The parents were informed that “every effort is being made to open at least part of the education frameworks this morning. The council is carrying out a mapping and another update notice will be issued at 9:00 a.m.” In the message, they criticized the Home Front Command and said that “the late timing of the Home Front Command’s announcement does not allow organizing for an orderly and optimal opening of the frameworks Education this morning in the council, both in terms of staff availability and transportation.”
BMerhavim Regional Council It was announced that the day care centers will open at 9:00, and the schools and kindergartens at 10:00, but due to the late announcement the children will not receive breakfast and lunch in the settings.
Be’er Sheva municipality: “Since the Home Front Command’s decision came after midnight, we decided together with the municipal parents’ leadership, on the return of educational activities starting tomorrow, Tuesday.”
BJerusalem city council It was announced that classes would open at 10:00.
The center of local government: “Opening educational frameworks requires organization and orderly assessments, which includes the activation of education teams, transportation, feeding, and more. This is not done at the push of a button, and requires time to organize in advance.”
“Landing messages in the middle of the night, without coordinating with the local government, is irresponsible and reflects the disconnection from the public. The local authorities have to deal with the consequences of the decision and the throwing of responsibility. The local government is working quickly to return to the routine of activities as quickly as possible for the residents.”
Management of the Association of Directors of Education Departments She also criticized the timing of the announcement: “If anyone thinks that there is no price for activating the education system at the push of a button, they are wrong! The management of the union understands the need for routine and understands the need to operate the educational institutions in a routine and emergency manner! However, the time to organize for the opening of the institutions of the education system is not at the click of a button button.
“This is about recruiting teams, checking that there are security shuttles and feeding. The education system will operate this morning in many authorities. But at what cost, of pressure, anger and frustration? Why not make a decision that will allow for safe and trouble-free operation out of the organization time. Obviously, later they will say what kind of quick organization And kudos to those who opened up, but the price… is too heavy to bear.”
