High school teachers refuse to give grades
Haaretz - April 13, 2004
Labor sanctions in high schools will resume Wednesday in conjunction with the
renewal of classes following
Passover vacation, the secondary school teachers' union said Tuesday.
As part of the sanctions, which were begun about two months ago, high school
teachers will not give their
students final grades. This move is considered particularly severe due to the
national matriculation exams
scheduled to take place in about a month, whose score is comprised partly of
the final grades provided by the
schools.
High school teachers also said they wouldn't hold any activities outside of
school, such as annual field trips.
High school students have held demonstrations over the cancellation of the
trips.
The labor sanctions are meant to protest what teachers say are worsened pension
conditions as well as the
Education Ministry's intention to fire 1,500 teachers and cut some 20,000
classroom hours in high schools.
