Reduction of Accommodations for Teachers with Chronic Illnesses

September 10, 2025

The Ministry of Education has reduced the accommodations for teachers with serious chronic illnesses, citing an increase in applications. Teachers, who previously received more hours of support, are now seeing their provisions significantly limited. This approach is viewed as unjust, as it fails to take serious cases into account. Teachers argue that this blanket treatment undermines the human-centered approach in education. They demand individualized support that aligns with their needs.
