[etni] Teachers win reduced quota for grading English-language exams

Teachers win reduced quota for grading English-language exams
Haaretz - July 18, 2008
In a bid to meet demands by striking evaluators of the English matriculation exam, the Education Ministry is recruiting graders it had previously fired for unsatisfactory performance, Anglo File has learned. As reported earlier this week by Haaretz, following negotiations the ministry agreed to reduce the evaluators' work load - which teachers described as "degrading and impossibly high." At a briefing yesterday, the evaluators accepted the compromise deal reducing their work quota anywhere between 10 and 40 percent. The 300-odd graders are expected to fully resume work on the exams, known in Hebrew as the Bagrut, this Sunday.
