For hundreds of thousands of children, the summer holidays are over. Primary and secondary schools in the center of the country will start again on Monday, after six weeks off. The central region includes all of South Holland, large parts of Gelderland and Utrecht and parts of Flevoland and North Brabant.
The previous school year started with all kinds of corona measures. For example, students and teachers had to keep 1.5 meters away from each other and it was mandatory to wear mouth caps in corridors and canteens. Such rules no longer apply. Even if there is a new wave, the government wants to keep schools open as much as possible.
In a week the new school year will start in the north. The children in the south are the last to start, at the beginning of September. Next year, the middle region will again be the first to have summer holidays, followed by the south and then the north.
