Dear Mr. Lloyd,

I am a reporter for the English Edition of Haaretz and I am currently
working on a story about the recent decision by the Education Ministry
to cancel its long-running accreditation program for immigrant English
teachers, which apparently concurred with the firing of the so-called
Morim Olim.

I was hoping ETNI could comment on this issue for my article:

* How does ETNI think about the Ministry's decision?

* What do you expect to be the consequence of this move, if any? How
will it impact on immigrant teachers' absorption to Israel? Could it
be said that it will prevent teachers from immigrating?

* How do you respond to the Education Ministry spokeswoman's
explanation, who told the Jerusalem Post that "the move was made ...
following recommendations in the State Comptroller’s report to
streamline the process. The new olim teachers would now be able to
receive assistance from the education departments in their regions,
she said, just as do native-born and locally trained teachers."

* Are you currently undertaking or planning any steps to protest the
ministry's move?

Thank you very much in advance for responding to my questions at your
earliest convenience (my deadline is Wednesday afternoon).

Sincerely,

Raphael Ahren
