Elementary and junior high school canceled the athletic meet Temporary closure of school and not enough class time Chiba Matsudo March 25 19:39
Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture, has decided to cancel athletic meet at all elementary and junior high schools in the city in the new fiscal year because it has not been able to secure enough class hours due to temporary closure.
In Matsudo City, a total of 66 elementary and junior high schools in the city have been closed temporarily from this month, and have already entered the spring break.
The city has decided to stop the athletic meet and all of its training in the new year in order to prevent the transmission of children and compensate for the lack of lesson time.
In addition, it means that the fifth grade of elementary school and the second grade of junior high school will also cancel nature experience training, such as camping for overnight stay.
Elementary and junior high school is scheduled to resume from next month, and the Matsudo Board of Education said, "It was a tough decision, but I thought it would be disadvantageous for children not to give the necessary classes. I want to strive for management. "
