Health Ministry shoots raspberries back at Education Ministry
Sources in the Health and Education Ministries are continuing to fling insults at each other, using the media to air their smack talk across this schoolyard we call Israel.
“It’s easiest to find excuses,” a Health Ministry source tells Kan, after Education Ministry sources blamed possible school opening delays on them.
“Even without the coronavirus, every parent in Israel knows the education system was not ready for smaller classes, like the sardine protests,” the source adds, referring to short-lived protests movements against large class sizes in years past. “Even 100 reforms won’t help. The virus just exposed the existing ills in the system.”
