A new request for NIS 16.5 million in funding to subsidize summer school ("Beit HaSefer Shel HaChofesh HaGadol") for Haredi exempt institutions has been placed before the Knesset Finance Committee, according to N12 political correspondent Yuval Shadai.
The Finance Committee has received a new funding request totaling NIS 16.5 million, intended to subsidize summer school programs for Haredi 'exempt' institutions (מוסדות פטור), which are not part of the state education system. The request, reported by N12's Yuval Shadai on Sunday evening, comes as the Knesset nears the end of its summer session. Similar requests for Haredi-sector funding have been submitted to the committee in recent weeks; as The Zioneer reported on July 9, the committee was asked to approve NIS 31 million for the Authority for Socio-Economic Development of the Haredi Sector, and on July 5, a cabinet agenda included a pay raise for Haredi preschool teachers without a designated funding source. The current request focuses specifically on covering costs for the summer break framework, a common arrangement in Haredi institutions that operate outside the official school calendar. The committee's decision on the allocation is pending.
