In cooperation with Teachers' Organization Chairman Ran Erez and Teachers' Union Secretary Yaffa Ben David, MK Gadi Yevarkan today applied for a caucus to strengthen the status and rights of teachers in Israel.
"Teachers in Israel are a cornerstone of the State of Israel. The only capital that brought Israel where it is is human capital. Teachers throughout history are the ones who polished this capital but did not receive the respect they deserve. In recent years the status of the teacher in Israel has been severely damaged. That is why I applied for a caucus to promote the status of teachers in Israel. Teacher rights must be enshrined in legislation, teachers deserve the glory and it's my honor to do it,” he said.
