Member of Knesset Moti Yogev (Jewish Home) has called on the ministers involved in the daycare-center issue to sit together in order to formulate a solution. Speaking as a daycare-center strike threatened to enter its second day, Yogev said, "Early childhood education is a national mission for which the government should have long ago taken responsibility."
Yogev noted, "Today, only 30 percent of Israel's children receive an orderly response, and this is also through non-profit organizations. The salaries of caregivers are low and hard work is required, and the dormitories are in the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs. He called on Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon, representatives of the Prime Minister's Office and representatives of the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs to sit and reach an agreement "to give dignity to the caregivers, dignity to the young children - who are our future - dignity to the parents, which gives dignity to us all. It is proper for the government to make a decision on a multi-year work plan for the treatment and education of all young children in Israel."
