Education ministry

The Education Ministry announces the full reopening of schools nationwide, including northern communities, following updated security guidelines amid the ceasefires with Lebanon and Iran.

"As the security situation continues, we will continue to adapt our responses sensitively and in line with what emerges from the field,” Kisch said.

A new published study by researchers at Ben-Gurion University has found that some 40% of teachers reported levels of anxiety and depression that crossed clinical thresholds.

Kisch's plan expands the existing framework called the “Summer Vacation School,” which is run by the Education Ministry and provides state-subsidized summer programs after the school year ends.

The implementation of the suggested reopening timeline will be subject to a situational assessment by the Home Front Command, according to Education Minister Yoav Kisch.
