The 2018 school year opened in Haifa - without the high school students

Tens of thousands of students started the school year today, Sunday 01/09/2024, in the kindergartens and schools in Haifa. 11,297 children started the school year in the kindergartens, 27,263 in the elementary schools and 19,948 in the upper elementary schools, with the middle school students arrived at the schools but the high school students stayed at home due to the teachers union strike.

Many of the students came to school this morning wearing yellow shirts, as a sign of identification with the abductees who are still in the captivity of Hamas and their families, and this is when in the last day the bitter news came that the bodies of 6 of the abductees had been found.

One of the topics that occupied the parents before the start of the school year is the issue of protection in kindergartens and schools, when despite the efforts of the municipality to protect more and more of them, there are still many educational institutions in Haifa without any standard protected space.


During the summer, many funds were invested in renovating the school buildings and improving the condition of the protected spaces, sealing works were carried out in 24 educational institutions, air conditioning systems were installed in 38 educational institutions, new shading was placed in 35 educational institutions, courtyards were prepared and new safety surfaces were deployed in 5 educational institutions.

The Mayor of Haifa, Yona Yahav, met the 1st grade students and their parents in Kiryat Haim this morning and wished them a good and successful school year. "The new school year brings with it new opportunities, challenges and exciting experiences," Yahav said. "During the summer the Municipality of Haifa cultivated the learning environment in the kindergartens and schools, and at the same time we added to improve security and emergency preparedness.
This year will open with great hope and with new educational programs, such as "Round-Breaking Wednesday (Shabbas)" and the opening of a technology, cyber and sports center, which will allow the city's students new experiences, warm friendships, and a lot of curiosity and learning.

It is not pleasant to see a closed school - the teachers union strike

The teachers' organization already announced yesterday, Saturday 31/08/2024, about a strike in the high schools. The chairman of the teachers' organization, Ran Erez, sent a letter to the teachers and teachers of the teachers' organization, in which he explained that because the Ministry of Finance refuses to sign a collective agreement regarding increased wages and working conditions for the public of teachers, it was decided to hold the strike. According to him, the Ministry of Finance is interested in signing teachers on individual contracts and thus to turn them into contractor employees, and he has no intention of supporting this move.

Currently, according to Erez, the strike will continue until a salary agreement is signed. The students and parents complain that the children have gone through difficult years anyway - first it was the corona crisis that severely disrupted the school routine and now these are the days of war, when to these ongoing events is added the fact that already above A year when the teachers are under sanctions and therefore the students do not receive grades and do not go on school trips, and it is not fair or logical to also burden them with the teacher crisis and shut down the studies.

On the other hand, the teachers of the teachers' organization claim that just as every worker in the economy has a wage agreement, so they demand that they too work under such an agreement and it is unreasonable to demand that they give up this right. Currently, the assumption is that we are heading for a long strike, but everything depends on the Ministry of Finance and the teachers' organization and the willingness of the parties to be flexible and reach a solution.

Social networks were flooded with statements protesting against the strike, but it seems that most of the organization's teachers stand behind Ran Erez at this point and are not ready to be deterred. Another and less talked about problem is that the organization's striking teachers may find themselves without pay at all for the duration of the strike. Sometimes strikes end with an agreement that states that the strikers will be paid for the period they were on strike, and sometimes they are required to return some of the days they did not work in return.

Ehud School - Dozens of students arrived dressed in yellow shirts in solidarity with the struggle for the return of the abductees.

  1. Positive response. Don't educate me. My father suffered an attack at a young age. An Arab neighbor murdered my grandmother. I am at the age of the state, they will never understand this situation during a war and strikes. I feel the country and my heart is on it. Don't teach me what it means to love one's homeland, whose home during war is never acceptable, and no opposition has ever used it to their advantage. What I feel and also many of the people do not witness these abductees are in favor of the fall of the government and I teared up the media as well those house managers
    The book. How we let them educate our children
    And he also said that the Prime Minister's son is a murderer. this
    An educator in Israel is an example and a model.

  2. Shame on you, they say the left wants democracy, for now they are acting like force, we rule and we are slaves, we will make sure that all dictators disappear from our sight, everything will change after the war, all those who control everything will disappear!

  3. Start a new year, the left-wing bear takes control of students entering school. We are tired of all the demonstrations of the left. Because yesterday evening they were asked to come in yellow, they continue to control the educational institution. We are very tired. We are at war and only want the division of the people because we are back with all the demonstrations and in a little while we will hear a refusal. What we've been through. It's a fact that we wanted to arrive in a yellow bag. Well, some came, but not all.

    • Who is the writer? the writer?
      Probably ashamed.
      Try to step into the shoes of the kidnapped families. What does "fed up" mean? Not interesting? don't mind
      I am ashamed and saddened to tears by people who talk like A.A. Haifa.
