Israel's Supreme Court, the High Court of Justice (Bagatz), has approved the release of funds to Haredi educational institutions for the current academic year. This decision follows a plan proposed by Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. The funding is contingent upon these institutions teaching core subjects for at least 75% of the time stipulated by the Ministry of Education's director-general circular. For example, this includes teaching English for a minimum of two hours per week in elementary school grades.
The funds to be released will only cover the current year's allocation. Future budget discussions and potential funding for subsequent years will be addressed separately as part of an ongoing petition filed by the "Yesh Atid" and "Hish" organizations.
