מה קרה
Israel's early childhood education sector faces a critical shortage of 3,500-4,000 caregivers, leaving over 20,000 infants without subsidized daycare this year. The caregiver-to-infant ratio is below OECD standards, and shortages are most severe in Tel Aviv and central regions. Despite reported improvements in teacher shortages, unqualified staff are filling gaps, while broader concerns about abuse in youth movements also emerged.
