Merom Schiff, chairman of the national parents' leadership, called on the Knesset Education Committee not to close the education system. The committee discussed returning fifth- and tenth-graders to schools during the lockdown.
"Addressing you on behalf of one-and-a-half million parents, it is time to stop these terrible regulations and bring students back to learning as it has been so far," Schiff added, "with data presented by the Ministry of Education you don't close an education system, there is no justification for it."
