The decision on the end of the school year now lies with each principal and it has been a hot issue among teachers, students and guardians in Nyköping during the spring.
Katja Ahlin is the principal of, among others, Östra skolan, which is one of the schools that previously marched to Vallarna during the closing morning.
– We have created our own traditions during the pandemic where we saw that many of our students had better conditions to participate in the end of school compared to what they had on the ramparts, she says to SVT Nyheter Sörmland.
What does the future look like – can the end of school return to Vallarna?
"It is difficult to answer now, but if the question comes up in the vice-chancellor's group, we will of course discuss it," says Katja Ahlin.
