After a two-day national teachers’ strike, students are slated to return to classrooms tomorrow after the strike has been frozen, the teachers’ union announces.
The union says the move comes following a meeting earlier today with representatives of the Finance Ministry amid an ongoing labor dispute.
Union chief Yaffa Ben David says she “hopes to continue relevant negotiations.”
There was no school nationwide on Wednesday and Thursday due to the strike, following more than a week of late starts and local cancellations as the union ramped up its dispute.
