The Education Ministry announced Friday that special “holiday school” programs will run during the upcoming Pesach break in locations where the Home Front Command has approved such activity.

According to the Ministry, the initiative will be carried out in municipalities that choose to participate and are classified as “yellow” low-risk zones, as well as in “orange” areas where informal educational programming is permitted, provided the specific sites receive approval from the Home Front Command.

Officials emphasized that the goal of the program is to give students a consistent educational and social structure during the holiday period, while also broadening the support systems available to them at this time.

The Ministry added that comprehensive and professional instructions have been distributed to regional administrators, local government leaders, and educational staff to ensure proper implementation.

Education Minister Yoav Kisch explained, “We are consistently working to expand educational solutions and adapt the education system to the changing reality. The operation of the ‘holiday school’ program allows us to provide students with a stable framework and social support even during Passover break.”

He added, “This initiative is being carried out in coordination with the Home Front Command, as part of a broader policy of maintaining educational continuity and providing responsible and tailored support during this time.”
