Education minister says school year to continue through July

Education Minister Rafi Peretz says the school year will be extended to July, with summer vacation in August.

“There will be no alternative but to extend studies into July,” he tells Channel 12. “It cannot be that everyone will return to work and the teachers will go on vacation.”

It is unclear when schools will reopen.
