Mecklenburg-West Pomerania: First day of school after the Christmas holidays in MV

Schwerin (dpa/mv) - After the Christmas holidays, classes will start again on Tuesday for the more than 150,000 schoolchildren in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. After the violent wave of colds in December, there is hope that after the one and a half week break, chains of infection will be broken and that the classes and teaching staff will be largely complete again.

Shortly before the Christmas holidays, 9 of the approximately 500 state schools had switched to alternating classes in the higher classes due to absences due to illness. One school even switched to distance learning and emergency care.

The next holidays are already in sight for the children and young people in MV: After five weeks of lessons, the winter holidays begin on February 6, and then the first half of the school year is over. The winter holidays last two weeks.
