Subject: Raising fees for an education course

Dear ETAI,

This concerns teacher education rather than teaching per se, so I am not 
sure whether I can turn to you. However, if anyone in your office does keep 
up with the new laws at the Dept. of Education, I would appreciate any 
information you can give me.

I was told that the Department of Education has passed a new law raising the 
fees for an education course by 25% for students who take off a year (for 
example, in order to work, as in my case), despite having received 
permission from the Department to take the year off. That is, I signed up 
for a two year course which cost in total 12 000 shekels. I paid 8000 
shekels the first year. After the first year, I took a year off in order to 
work full-time. When I went to resume my studies, I was presented with a 
bill for 7000, with the excuse that I had to pay the extra 25% penalty. This 
seems a bit odd (and steep) to me, so I would like to check whether the 
Teacher's College has the details correct. Could you give me any information 
concerning this? I would be very grateful.

Best regards, David Reid
