violence against teachers

According to the spokesperson for the Teachers' Union, the staff at the Yosef Karo school is afraid to come to work.

If society can change its attitude towards the teaching profession, there is a chance that more youngsters will choose a career in education.

Of those students who reported a rise in violence, more than half felt that physical, verbal and social media-based violence all occurred with equal prevalence.

Prosecutors charged Nasser Nawasreh with incitement over a speech to supporters last Wednesday that criticized Prime Minister Omar al Razzaz's government.

In the past month alone, there have been reports of violence both against teachers and against other pupils in Netanya, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

Violence among students is a growing in problem in the Israeli school system

The education ministry issued a statement in response saying that it sympathizes with the teachers but believes a strike is not the proper way to resolve the issue.

Teachers’ strike over low wages and poor working conditions looms in background

The teachers are asking for an immediate increase in their starting monthly salary to NIS 8,000 and raises of NIS 1,000 to 2,000 per month for senior teachers.

The strike was announced when a teacher was knocked unconscious by a pupil with a metal rod.
