Public schools across the country opened after Easter Week yesterday, Monday 22 April 2019. In Santo Domingo over half of the students attended, according to press reports. While still low, this is higher than usual as it has been traditional for the Monday after Easter Week to be seen as an extension of the holiday.
School prinicipals consulted by Listin Diario said that before the start of the Easter break, letters had been sent to the parents advising them to send the children back to school on Monday. In addition, meetings were held with the parents and phone calls made. The principals also said that the teachers and administration staff were also in attendance yesterday.
