Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends Section 15 of the Foster Care for Children Law (2016) to ensure that children who are removed from their homes and placed in out-of-home frameworks (such as residential homes or foster families) will be entitled to education in their new place of residence. The amendment is general and is intended to prevent situations in which students placed elsewhere remain without an educational framework for long periods because of a disconnect between their institution and the local education department of the new place of residence.
