Chinuch Atzmai and Maayan Hachinuch Hatorani Included in Soldier-Teacher Program

By Eliezer Rauchberger

The Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee approved a directive to include soldier-teachers at the Chinuch Atzmai and Maayan Hachinuch Hatorani systems.

Three years ago, when former MK Chemi Doron (Shinui) headed the Foreign Affairs and Security Subcommittee, an order was passed allowing soldiers to serve as teachers in every school in Israel — except at the two chareidi networks.

MK Rabbi Moshe Gafni worked to rectify the unfair exclusion, even involving Government Secretary Yisrael Maimon in his efforts. Last year an order to include Chinuch Atzmai and Maayan Hachinuch Hatorani in the teacher-soldier project was approved by former Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz.

Shortly before the current order was brought for approval, Rabbi Gafni asked Defense Minister Amir Peretz to ensure that Chinuch Atzmai and Maayan Hachinuch Hatorani would not be left off the list of schools participating in the program.
