The Ministry of Education will discuss tonight (Saturday) with the Teachers’ Union about the expected return to school tomorrow as part of the new government examination outline set at the student isolation procedure. This, following a ruling between Labor and Labor yesterday to extend the temporary order prohibiting the teachers’ union from striking despite the health concerns raised by it.
The tribunal ruled that the parties should start discussing the issue tonight, and hold another meeting tomorrow in the presence of the director general of the Ministry of Education, Dalit Stauber, the secretary general of the Teachers’ Union, Yaffa Ben-David, and a senior figure in the Ministry of Health. The Histadrut must update the tribunal on the progress of contacts regarding the government plan by Monday at ten o’clock in the morning.
During the hearing, Judge Dori Spivak rejected the Ministry of Education’s claim that the Histadrut’s announcement of the shutdown of the education system is political. In his ruling, he explained that “the ruling states that a short protest strike is legitimate, and will not be considered a prohibited political strike in circumstances where the purpose of the strike is to express the plight of workers on a particular issue, especially when it comes to workers’ claim that their employer does not provide a safe work environment.”

The director general of the Ministry of Health, Nachman Ash, also addressed the issue himself and said that if tests of the school students were carried out, there would be no significant increase in morbidity despite the abolition of isolation for children. A week.
“The outline balances the risk of morbidity and injury prevention as a result of academic impairment and is essential in view of the characteristics of the Omicron strain,” Ash explained. “We are coordinating its implementation. We are confident that returning to school continuously is for the benefit of the children. It is clear that our concern is for the health of the entire public. At the same time, the changes that will be made will allow us to manage it closely. We will continue to monitor morbidity data.”
