Exempt Schools Not Budging on Education Ministry Inspections
By Y. Green
In response to renewed discussion on oversight of exempt schools, Vaadas HaRabbonim LeInyonei Chinuch reiterated a longstanding principle established by gedolei Yisroel shlita that outside entities cannot be allowed to interfere in chareidi education, including pedagogical and other aspects.
The Vaadah has held several lengthy meetings recently to discuss the issue of school inspections. After Vaadas HaRabbonim LeInyonei Chinuch representatives made a round of visits to the homes of maranan verabbonon, including HaRav Yosef Sholom Eliashiv, HaRav Aharon Leib Shteinman and HaRav Shmuel Auerbach shlita, a decision was reached to stand firm in continuing the legacy handed down to us through the generations and not to enable any outside officials to interfere in the studies or development of tinokos shel beis rabban, to prevent inspectors from gaining a foothold in the talmudei Torah and other exempt institutions.
Recently the Vaadah summoned Deputy Education Minister MK Rabbi Menachem Eliezer Moses to have him brief them on current developments and to clarify the position of gedolei Yisroel.
