ment. What little remains of ordi-
nary state education has suffered
cutback after cutback. And while
the 'special' schools provide busing,
hot lunches, tutoring and enrich-
ment; the state schools, especially
in the periphery, have become ever
more crowded, under-funded and
wretched."
Officials at the Education
Ministry reject such claims. They
say the ministry is seeking to
improve the public school system
through reforms that include a lon-
ger school day and more enrichment
courses.
"What we want to do is to make
the public schools strong',' Shauly
Peer, a spokesman for the ministry,
told JTA.
Shmuly Bing, a high school
teacher in the Jerusalem suburb of
Mevasseret Zion, says the govern-
ment's neglect of public schools for
private schools is hurting the poor-
est of students, including Arabs and
residents of the rural far north and
south of the country.
"The government is acting as if
parents who want a good educa-
tion for their children will have to
be expected to pay for it," Bing said.
"The question is whether or not
Israel provides a public education."
The unprecedented 65-day sec-
ondary school teachers' strike ended
just hours before a court deadline
that would have sent the teachers
back to work.
The teachers, who had demanded
pay hikes and smaller classes, were
promised an 8.5 percent pay raise
in turn for adding two hours of pri-
vate tutoring a week. The deal also
included another 5 percent raise
over the next three years coupled
with a 4 percent increase in wages
to cover cost-of-living adjustments.
The ministry also pledged to reduce
the number of students in each
classroom.
Haggai Lavie, who not long ago
quit his te-ching job to run a youth
leadership program in Jerusalem,
said he remains frustrated by his
experience in the classroom, where
large, unruly classes and a lack of
time made high-quality teaching
virtually impossible.
"For centuries, the main treasure
of Jewish culture and the Jewish
people was always education; it is
study that preserved us for centu-
ries," he said. "We are starting to lose
that, and I am definitely worried."
