Plans for broadcasting school lessons for the 30,000 high school students left idle by the strike of Israel’s secondary school teachers were being considered today by the Ministry of Education.

The strike, which closed the high schools last week, is expected to be of long duration. Education Ministry officials were weighing a program of broadcast lessons which the students could follow from their homes so that they would not lose too much time. Officials saw little hope for settlement of the strike before the end of the school term.

High school students in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa were reported today to be organizing themselves into study groups to prepare themselves, as best they could, for the term examinations.
