If they don't comply with the requirements of the state, they cannot receive funding, and Shai Piron is now taking additional steps to bring them in line:
Education Minister Shay Piron decided to take a tough stance against the haredi education system, after a report from the Finance Ministry pointed to serious shortcomings in schools managed by the ultra-Orthodox Shas Party.Good idea. Shas officials certainly can't be trusted to turn in honest reports.
The Education Ministry has adopted a plan that would dismantle the current department overseeing haredi schools. Instead, it will establish a new, public-haredi school management authority to be staffed by 15 supervisory boards comprising supervisors drawn from outside the haredi community.
