Officials said to prepare gradual reopening of schools

Officials offer a first glimpse at plans for the education system in the coming months, amid a national lockdown to rein in the coronavirus pandemic.

According to the plan, reported by Channel 13 but yet to be approved by the government, preschools and kindergartens will reopen after the Sukkot holiday, which ends October 9.

Elementary schools up to fourth grade will reopen two weeks later.

Fifth grade and up will be closed for months, until after the Hanukkah holiday that ends December 18.
