What does the bill do?
The bill adds new definitions and powers to the State Education Law of 1953. It sets a Haredi state education stream whose studies will conform to the principles of Torah and mitzvot and the Haredi religious tradition, as well as an adapted curriculum. The bill requires establishing a Haredi educational institution in certain places, requires parents to give notice of their choice between Haredi or other institutions, and sets cost-sharing between education authorities. In addition, it establishes a council for Haredi education that will advise the minister on matters concerning this stream, and sets rules for supervising Haredi institutions on a basis similar to the supervision of other state religious institutions.
