The agreement between the parties was reached the day before the start of the school year, shortly before the labor court was supposed to hear the state's request for injunctions against the teachers' strike. Among the agreements reached: large salary increases for teachers compared to waiving some vacations, and industrial peace until 2026
Like most years, the teachers strike, the Finance ministry threatens them, the media has headlines for the whole time – and the last day, the finance ministry gives the teachers more or less what they asked for, while teachers give up minimal concessions.
NOTE: A recent report says that teachers in Israel are paid better than many EU teachers.
