Yaffa Ben-David attacks the outline for returning to school: “I think not to open now”

Yaffa Ben-David, secretary general of the Teachers’ Union, spoke this morning (Monday) with Ben Caspit and Winon Magal on their program on 103FM and referred to the Ministry of Education’s outline for returning to school. “This is an impractical outline and” very difficult to implement. “At the end of the interview, she concluded:” In my personal opinion, do not open the education system now. “

Half of the teaching staff were not vaccinated?
“We do not threaten all the time, we did declare a labor dispute over vaccines because we did not give priority to teaching staff. We are testing we did and the Ministry of Health retracted the claim of over 50 percent, we have data that over 76 percent were vaccinated. He handed over about two hundred thousand ID cards to the Ministry of Health and also the Ministry of Education asked to return all the ID cards of those who were vaccinated so that he could check how many were not vaccinated. I can talk about members of the teachers’ union, 120 thousand members. The self-employed, assistants and those who are not on the teaching staff did not take into account all the thousands who were vaccinated before giving priority. Teachers are vaccinated, it is true that there are teachers who are not vaccinated for their reasons, Segment and see where not and simply come and convince, to activate all our excellent health professionals so that they omit or dispel the fears they have in the wake of all the Pike News that is also raging in the networks. “

Need to apply benefits and sanctions?
“It’s illegal and I do not think it will pass the ombudsman, maybe incentives can do but sanctions? It’s hard for me to believe”.

Those who are not vaccinated can not return to work?
“Legally it is not possible. It has to pass the ombudsman.”

Yesterday Barbash said to ask if the teacher is vaccinated and if not then they will not send children.
“A parent chooses not to send the child. I have heard that legal examiners who will not be vaccinated will probably have to do tests every day.”

If it is up to you you need to open up the education system.
“I do not understand health, we understand education. The proposed outline is a hallucinatory outline, an outline that is in no way applicable only to those who do not understand education, in the classroom is difficult to teach so want to take children out? Small children can go out and learn? “Outdoor activities? It is possible, it is possible to make trips and visit museums, but we must not deceive ourselves. It is impossible to implement the outline. All the outlines were difficult, this time they come and say ‘so far’, it is impossible to do, it is impossible to implement.”

What do you offer?
“We are in favor of opening up the education system, but in an informed way, outlining with us an outline that can be worked with and applied and not offer proposals that are detached from the field.”

what can we do?
“In the policy that the Ministry of Health will decide who can and who cannot. The Ministry of Health says that orange and red cannot be opened.”

Do not consult with you.
“For the small classes, if they had listened to us on the subject, it would have been possible to continue working in the system in the closures as well and they did not. You enter the closure, you do not put in a plan how you get out of the closure, how you build the exit.”

There are suggestions to study outside, we are entering spring. Is not that ideal? There are spaces in schools, make capsules of 10 children, the risk decreases significantly.
“In the weather today, which is once rainy and once sunny, who will decide that today they study and then not. Learning outside is not easy, they will have to do very small groups, the stimuli outside are very difficult. It is very difficult to implement. “

Prof. Grotto took responsibility this morning and said ‘when it comes to studies I hit on sin’.
“I definitely say they could have done more, there is the echelon that decides but there is the operative echelon, they could not be cut off from the field.”

open.
“In my personal opinion not to open.”
