Freedom is near
By Anton Rinne

Summer holiday is about to start for school students, who have been studying since August. For students throughout Finland this means more time to relax. For high school students it’s an opportunity to earn money in a summer job. The weather has been extraordinary warm and summer has started earlier than it usually does.

We interviewed a student from Lauttasaari yhteiskoulu and she was very anxious about the holiday. "I have been waiting for it since the start of the school year!" Another student told that he was going inter railing with his mates: "Finally I have the time to do this trip!"

The summer holiday used to be three months long (from the beginning of June 'til the end of August), but after Saturdays became free from school the holiday was cut to ten weeks.
