It’s no secret that knowledge is power. It is also very obvious that when people know what their rights are, they aren’t taken advantage of as much.
We emphasis all the time that people should know their rights, but what about our youth ? I am talking about high school kids from grade 10 and up. They start to work during school vacations and really need to know what the basic labor laws are, what Bituach leumi is and why we need it. What is income tax and what the minimum wage is.
It is about time that these subjects be taught as part of the school curriculum
It is interesting and useful to everyone.
I am interested in hearing people’s feedback on this – please post comments on the blog only.
