Professional briefing sessions preceded the school year, in which the Chinuch Atzmai administration and the supervision over the schools for the upcoming years dealt with revitalizing the teaching and administrative staffs of the various schools and increasing their numbers where necessary in light of the blessed growth. This was shown with the number of 117,000 students.
Programs were solidified to reflect the scholastic issues of the previous school year due to the Corona lockdowns, quarantines and interruptions forced upon the students.
The Chinuch Atzmai administration held several seminars during the summer intersession, rich in content and relevancy, for the teaching staffs, including for teachers of the higher grades, ulpanim, counselors and advisors, teachers of special education classes and of the lower grades, presenting updated and sophisticated material especially geared to bridge the gaps from last year regarding reading and writing.

In an impressive visit in the home of HaRav Chaim Kanievsky together with MK Rabbi Moshe Gafni, the CEO of the Education Ministry, Yigal Slovik, resolved to make every effort that this school year would not suffer, that classes would not be shut and that the educational routine and schedule would continue uninterrupted, in spite of the continuing health issues that weigh on the country.
The director of the Education Ministry added that as of today, all educational experts agree that our Torah leaders were on the mark when they foresaw the importance of not shutting down the schools. At the end of the visit, he received HaRav Chaim's blessing for the success in the project of Corona testing and the inoculation of students in the educational system.
