Education Ministry plans gradual return to schools, with studies in shifts

The Education Ministry announces plans to slowly bring children back to school after the Passover holiday in a staggered approach.

It says studies will take place in “shifts.” In some schools children will be divided into morning and afternoon groups, while in others children will come in on alternate days.

Priority will be given to children with special needs, at-risk youth and preschools. These will be followed by elementary schools, middle schools and high schools.
