Tokyo Metropolitan Government “Measures to change school hours and bring spring vacation ahead of schedule”

Following the spread of the new coronavirus, the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education has been trying to reduce the risk of students becoming infected at metropolitan high schools, etc. We are making adjustments in the direction of asking each school to consider measures to move the school forward.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education is studying measures to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus at metropolitan high schools and junior high and high schools.

According to stakeholders, the measures say that reducing the risk of infection for students is important, and that schools should consider reducing school attendance time to avoid crowded trains when commuting to school. .

In addition, the graduation ceremony will be reduced in size to restrict the attendance of parents and guests, and that it is requested that the spring break, which will be entered sequentially from the end of next month, be considered two weeks ahead of schedule.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education is making adjustments to these policies and will notify schools soon.
