British Council shuts down English-language teaching center
Haaretz - September 15, 2006

The British Council has shut the doors of its Tel Aviv teaching center and fired seven of its English teachers in a shake-up labeled as "shambolic" by disgruntled staff.

"It's been really badly handled," says British-born teacher Kate Sheffer, who was given her marching orders by the council last week.

Another recently laid-off teacher who asked not to be named called the handling of the closure "absolutely incompetent."

Though the center's shutdown had been threatened for some years, the announcement that no further English courses would be offered as of September 1 was made only on August 31. Students who called the council's teaching center in Ramat Gan during July and August were told that the services were under review. "It was all a bit crazy, a lot of people were left hanging," says another teacher who worked at the center until recently.
