Bill would require haredis to teach core curriculum

Independence MK Wilf brings to Ministerial Committee law requiring core subjects to be taught in all state-funded schools.

All schools receiving government funding should be required to teach Education Ministry's core curriculum, according to an education bill being brought to a vote at the Ministerial Committee on Legislation on Sunday.
The initiative, proposed by Independence faction chairwoman Einat Wilf, along with MKs Tzipi Hotovely (Likud), Meir Sheetrit (Kadima), Uri Orbach (Habayit Hayehudi), and sponsored by Meretz and Kadima MKs, would require schools to teach core curriculum subjects, such as Torah, Civics, Hebrew, Math and English, during at least 75 percent of the school day….
