The school year ends on Friday for 188.000 elementary school pupils and 80.000 high school students. The traditional last day of school is June 10th, which is on Saturday, so instead the schools will close today.
Enrollment in the high schools is on June 28th and 29th. High school graduates take the year-end language exam, with an overwhelming majority of the 15.000 of them taking the English language exam. There will be no external testing at the end of the year, after the newly appointed Government and the Parliamentary majority moved to end the program.
