Norway’s Education Directorate has advised that kindergartens and schools should remain open as usual following the death of King Harald V. The directorate believes it is important for children and young people to have a space where they can openly discuss the event and ask questions. This provides a supportive environment for processing grief and understanding the significance of the King’s passing. Maintaining normalcy through continued school and kindergarten attendance is seen as beneficial during this period of national mourning. The recommendation was released in a press statement emphasizing the value of social interaction and dialogue. This approach prioritizes the emotional well-being of students and aims to facilitate healthy coping mechanisms. Authorities hope this will help young people navigate the news and its impact on the nation.
