Private and state schools will be closed for 15 days; and those of the municipality for at least a week.
Next Monday (16th), classes in private and public schools in Rio de Janeiro will be suspended. The strike at Rio City Hall schools is expected to last at least a week. It is possible – and even plausible depending on the circumstances – that it will extend until the end of March.
These units will open almost exclusively for children's lunch during this period. The cafeterias will serve students from 11 am to 1 pm.
The objective of the measure is to reduce the movement of people. The municipal network has 626 thousand students; the state, 700 thousand.
Private schools will also stop for 15 days, according to the Private Schools Union.
