The Education Ministry has ordered schools and kindergartens to reimburse parents for services they paid for and were not provided to students due to closure of educational institutions.
Education Minister Shmuel Abubav: "The education system is currently facing unprecedented challenges, and is doing everything possible to maintain routine and assist students and their parents. The closure of educational institutions and the halting of extracurricular activities meant that other educational services, paid for by the parents, were not provided - and they will be reimbursed."
