Dear English Teachers,

Now that the strike is over, I am sure that you have many questions 
regarding the Bagrut exams and I will do my best to answer them.  Please 
note, however, that queries regarding the Bagrut exam can be divided into 
two categories:

1. Those that are under my jurisdiction to answer.  I will post these 
questions together with their respective answers on our site.
2. Those that will be answered by the Minister or the Director-General. I 
will post any updates that are relevant to this category when I receive 
them.

Here are answers to questions I have received so far:

Question: Now that the strike is over, I would like to know what your 
guidelines are for the Bagrut exams.

Answer: The English Inspectorate is aware of the many challenges you and 
your students face in preparing for the Bagrut exam.  Taking this into 
consideration, the following decisions have been made:
1. For students who will be finishing their English Bagrut exams this year - 
students can read two books less than originally required for the Extensive 
Reading Program.
2. For students who will be finishing their English Bagrut exams this year - 
teachers can teach two short stories instead of the play and one poem less 
than originally required.


Question: If our students are completing the third module in the Winter, can 
they be tested on the Oral Examination after the Winter written exams?

Answer: I am checking out this option at the Ministry.  As soon as I get an 
answer, I will post it on our site.


Question: Will projects still be part of the Bagrut? What about students who 
haven't done projects? Will they still have to do a project?

Answer: There are no changes regarding the projects.


Question: Will the date of the Summer Bagrut be changed?

Answer: This is a decision of the Testing Department.
