PM: Government to vote on compulsory education bill in 2012
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said a bill proposing compulsory education from the age of three will be brought before the government for approval during 2012, ahead of the next school year.
"This is a national mission of the highest importance. Many families are forces to spend thousands of shekels on private kindergartens and we will act to repair the situation," he said. (Tomer Velmer and Avital Lahav)
