High school teachers call for 2-hour strike against violence

The national high school teachers union is calling a two-hour protest strike for tomorrow morning to draw attention to acts of violence against teachers on the part of students and parents.

In a public letter, union head Ran Erez says the strike comes to highlight “the rise in violence against teachers on the one hand, and the apathy shown by the education minister [Naftali Bennett] on the other.”

The strike will shutter high schools from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. tomorrow.
