At the start of the discussion, Prime Minister Bennett said that the school year would open this Wednesday (1 September 2021), as planned.

 

The Prime Minister made the following decisions during the discussion:

 

1. The use of rapid Corona tests will be widespread.

 

2. The 'Green Pass' plan will be applied to education system employees, even as it is applied to other sectors in the economy as well. Non-vaccinated employees will be required to show results of negative CoronaVirus tests – to be carried out at the rapid testing sites throughout the country – twice a week.

 

3. Upon the start of the school year this Wednesday (1 September 2021), cases in which the proportion of pupils who have received the first dose of the vaccine is lower than 70% will learn online. It should be emphasized that the first inoculation in and of itself will not provide a 'Green Pass' that is required for other places and activities.

 

4. Effective Thursday, 30 September 2021, two doses of the vaccine will be required for the foregoing plan (item 3 above).

 

5. During September, pupils who are learning online will be encouraged to be vaccinated at school in order for the class to move to frontal learning.

 

* Items 3-5 above will apply to grades 8-12, in red cities only.
