Cabinet approves Dalit Stauber as Education Ministry’s new director general
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe cabinet approves the appointment of Dalit Stauber as the Education Ministry’s new director general after minister Yifat Shasha-Biton fired predecessor Yigal Slovik.
Stauber is an educator who previously served in the post in 2011-2013.
Rumors had swirled that Slovik’s dismissal was tied to him not accepting Shasha-Biton’s positions on a number of issues and policies, particularly issues relating to the coronavirus at schools.
Shasha-Biton has repeatedly clashed with Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz over coronavirus restrictions in schools and has been the subject of multiple anonymous attacks in the press.
