TL;DRA proposal to amend the Foster Care for Children Law to extend the right to education also to children in out-of-home placement in other settings.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends Section 15 of the Foster Care for Children Law (2016) to ensure that children placed in out-of-home placement in settings such as residential facilities or other overnight settings will receive the right to education and registration at an educational institution, like children placed in family foster care. The amendment is intended to prevent situations in which children removed from their homes are left without an educational setting due to difficulties in placement within a local authority other than that of their original place of residence.
