Chareidi Education System will Not be Required to Employ
Teachers With Academic Degrees
By Eliezer Rauchberger
The Knesset Education Committee decided not to include
teachers in the chareidi education system in a law that
requires teachers to have a college degree.
Committee Chairman Polishok Bloch (Shinui) tried to pass the
proposal sponsored by MK Solodkin (Likud), but committee
member MK Rabbi Moshe Gafni (Degel HaTorah) asked to exempt
teachers from the chareidi education system from this
requirement, reasoning that at chareidi institutions the
majority of instructors do not hold an academic degree,
because they study at chareidi teacher-training schools
certified by the Education Ministry instead of at
universities. He said implementing the law at chareidi
institutions as well would have grave consequences for
instructors in this sector.
