Rabbi Yisrael Golomb, director of the Agudath Yisrael daycare network, said in an interview that after the 'Ofek Hadash' reform did not pass, the network lacks budget sources to pay its Haredi preschool teachers a fair wage. He credited Haredi MKs, led by MK Gafni, with working extensively to resolve the crisis.
Rabbi Yisrael Golomb, director of the Agudath Yisrael daycare network (Ganei Agudat Yisrael), told Kol BaRama radio that the network is facing a salary crisis for its Haredi preschool teachers. In an interview on the central evening newscast, Golomb explained that the failure of the 'Ofek Hadash' (New Horizon) education reform to pass left the network without sufficient budget sources to pay fair wages. He praised Haredi MKs, particularly MK Moshe Gafni, for working 'above and beyond' to resolve the situation. The crisis highlights ongoing funding gaps in the Haredi education system, where state-subsidized frameworks do not always apply.
