Schools Get OK To Enjoy First Game Of World Cup

There is no doubt that soccer is an important subject in Costa Rica and the World Cup is as much as part of Costa Rica as the Gallo Pinto.

As such the Ministro de Educación Pública (MEP), Leonardo Garnier, announced on Monday that schools will be able to enjoy the inauguration ceremonies and the first game of the World Cup on Friday during school hours.

The minister explained that the authorization is only to take part as a school activity and not to allow students to be absent from the classroom.

The justification by Garnier is that the World Cup is a major global event and that it should be included as a cultural event.
