The highest shortage is reported among English and math teachers
"We are in the midst of the peak of a human resources shortage that has only gotten worse in the last few years and is seriously endangering the future of Israel's education system," Israel’s Education Minister Yifat Shasha-Biton was quoted as saying just a month and a half before the beginning of the school year.
The older grades are short of 1,245 teachers, while the special education sector is lacking 1,103 staffers. The situation is slightly better in middle school, where the ministry reported a deficit of 855 educators. The kindergartens are said to be lacking 117 teachers.
