According to an audit performed by the Accountant General, NGOs received billions of shekels illegally in 2006.
The audit revealed that in a large number of elementary schools, nearly all in the ultra-Orthodox school system, students were held back a year - but only on record, which enabled the institutions to obtain extra budgeting.
This practice continued for six years, and resulted in a hefty amount - NIS 50 million of ill-begotten funding. In another instance, the principal of a school was arrested one year ago, following a complaint filed to the police, on the suspicion that he had received more than a million shekels from the Ministry of Education by falsely reporting on students and teachers.…
