Christian schools in Israel will re-open on Monday following strikes over funding.
Some 33,000 schoolchildren will return to class after almost a month off following a deal that was reached on Sunday morning between the Christian school council, which represents 47 schools, and the Education Ministry.
The schools are set to receive a supplement amounting to around £8 million ($12 million) of state funding and around a £2 million bonus ($3 million).
The beginning of September and start of the school year saw a number of Christian schools refuse to open because they claimed they received one third of the funding that equivalent Jewish schools receive.
