TL;DRA bill requiring educational institutions to prevent social ostracism among students through rules, training and supervision.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill defines social ostracism as the rejection or exclusion of a student by a group of peers, through means such as humiliation or spreading false information. Every school will be required to draw up regulations for preventing ostracism, set up a dedicated team (including psychologists and educational counselors), and provide training for teachers and principals. The Ministry of Education will supervise the law's implementation and collect data on cases, and the minister will report to the Knesset Education Committee every year.
