The Israeli Ministry of Education has failed to hire any teachers on personal contracts despite a program that was agreed upon with the Teachers Union in 2022. The Ministry claims that regulatory approval for the program was received too late to implement it on time, but others believe that the Teachers Union pressured against it. A pilot scheme was launched in July 2024, but was closed before it began due to pressure from the Teachers Union. The shortage of teachers in mathematics, science, and English continues to impact the education system, with Israeli school pupils receiving their lowest scores in 17 years in international tests.
