The deadlock in the Jewish Agency schools in Palestine will probably be settled now, the J.T.A. here learns, by the Jewish Agency agreeing to a reduction of the education budget by only £16,000, instead of the £20,000 originally decided on, provided that its share of the budget does not exceed £40,000, while the Yishub is to provide an additional £5,000, and the teachers by giving up a month’s salary will contribute £7,000.
The Jewish Agency Executive has also agreed to consider favourably a proposal that all members of the staffs of the Jewish Agency Executive and of the Zionist funds should give up a month’s salary for the benefit of the educational system.
