Our school uses the Winter Bagrut a lot - mainly for other subjects, not
English. The teachers who teach for the Winter Bagrut get paid for the
whole year, but they teach double the number of hours in the first
semester. Or if they teach two subjects, they teach massive numbers of
hours for one test in the winter and then massive number of hours for the
other test in the other subject for summer -- and then have fewer classes.
This is done with mabar and etgar classes, not with the iyuni. It's so the
kids have fewer subjects to study and less to keep track of and fewer papers
to lose. Also, they get to take lots of matkonot so by they time they do
the bagrut, they are ready and pass. It's also done so if they fail in the
Winter, they do it again in the summer. The teacher continues teaching
those who failed, but not for as many hours as before the Winter Bagrut -
and not voluntarily. In English, the Winter Bagrut is used only for kids
who want to improve their grades from the previous summer. In this case,
the kids who took E or A or C at the end of Yud Aleph and want to try to
improve their grade would retake in the winter.
