Today is the last day of school!

The summer holidays are approaching! In many European countries they have already begun, however today, Friday 15, is officially the last school day in Luxembourg primary schools. Saturday therefore, youngsters are let off the leash to start summer holidays in the Grand Duchy.

That's a total of 120,595 students that can look forward to their well-deserved "Vakanz".

For two months now students can relax with their families, many of them travelling, but a lot expected to remain in the country this year. Many exciting holiday activities for children are due to begin offered by communes, youth associations etc.

Some of the communes even offer job opportunities that are mostly maintenance related around area, but offer them extra pocket money.

Other students may of course not be able to completely put their books aside and still do a spot of studying ready for the next 2011-2012 school year due to start on September 14.
