The education system in Kiryat Bialik will move to 5 days of study per week in elementary school - a move that will be implemented after deep thinking and the participation of the public. The municipality conducted comprehensive surveys among the parents, students and teachers who chose to switch to 5 school days.

During the summer, the municipality placed protected spaces in the kindergartens and schools to complete the protection gaps. In the construction and youth schools, ready-made spaces with floors are being built. The municipality is preparing for the demolition of a prefabricated building at the Kadima school, the demolition of Bialik and youth schools and the construction of innovative schools in their place. The plans are currently in the stage of architectural plan approval.
These days, the summer renovation works are being completed in order to accommodate the students in the renewed educational frameworks.

With the start of the new school year, my heart is full of excitement and anticipation. This is a special moment when our students return to the study benches, full of energy and desire to learn and discover new worlds.
The coming school year presents you with new and complex challenges. But along with the challenges, also come new opportunities. An opportunity to develop the skills and abilities of each and every one of you, an opportunity to grow and develop as people and as a company.
Good and evil are fundamental values in a healthy and supportive society. I call you to be tolerant, respect and accept the difference. Remember, a strong company is a diverse company.
