Saitama Prefecture will extend the school holidays to the end of May and support learning through video distribution.
This was decided at the meeting of the prefecture's task force held at the Saitama Prefectural Office on the 28th.
In this, Governor Ohno said, "It's far from the end of the infection," and decided to extend the period of closure of Saitama Prefectural high schools and special needs schools until May 6 by the end of May.
On top of that, in addition to providing educational support to all prefectural high schools through video distribution, we also clarified that we will consider creating teaching materials using television for junior high school students.
In addition, the Saitama City Board of Education has announced that it will extend the closing period of municipal elementary and junior high schools and high schools until the end of May.
On the other hand, in order to secure the number of days of classes, summer vacation is set to be 16 days from August 1st to 16th, which is less than half the usual time.
The Saitama Prefectural Board of Education has a policy of requesting that elementary and junior high schools and private schools in municipalities within the prefecture also be closed until the end of May.
