Education minister urges summer schools be kept open to allow parents to work
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEducation Minister Yoav Gallant says there is no justification for closing summer schools, saying they are not a significant location of infection.
He says most cases of children diagnosed with coronavirus at summer schools are believed to have occurred outside the school. Such cases are quickly identified and the establishments are shut down, preventing further infections.
He stresses that for parents who need to work, keeping institutions open until early August, as originally planned, is critical.
