After the Home Front Command lifted almost all restrictions imposed amid the latest escalation of fighting with Iran, the Education Ministry confirms that schools will reopen nationwide tomorrow.
In the communities next to the Lebanese border, classes will need to take place near a shelter, while in the rest of the country, they will resume in full according to the regular school schedule.
Earlier today, Education Minister Yoav Kisch said that if the escalation in Iran were to continue, the ministry would give schools another day to get organized before resuming on Wednesday within a protected framework.
The ministry’s new statement also says that the matriculation exams scheduled for this week are confirmed to be canceled, as announced earlier today.
