Opinion: Discourse on Haredi education is important, but in order to have it, one must get rid of its prejudice first; stop attempting to decide what is best for Orthodox public, hiding behind same old political tropes
A call has been made to increase funding for ultra-Orthodox institutions that do not teach secular curriculum. Those who oppose this move basically say that as long as these institutions refuse to teach secular subjects, ultra-Orthodox children should continue to study in boiling-hot caravans, with teachers who barely get paid.
Last week, a threat of a nationwide school strike hovered over Israel, with teachers demanding higher salaries. The Haredi teachers, who are used to extremely low salaries, know you can't strike for even one day.
