According to a report, the Ministries of Education and Finance stopped hundreds of thousands of shekels that were scheduled to be transferred this week to hundreds of daycare centers, without prior notice, leaving thousands of families without salaries and at risk of collapse.
The reported freeze, attributed to an unnamed source, indicates that hundreds of thousands of shekels in funding for daycare centers were halted by the Education and Finance Ministries without prior notice. The move threatens the salaries of thousands of families who depend on these centers. The incident adds to a pattern of financial disputes involving the Education Ministry, which The Zioneer has previously covered in reports on veteran kindergarten teachers warning of dismissals and the ministry's funding of schools in Kafr Aqab amid oversight failures. The exact scope and timeline of the freeze remain unconfirmed.
