Icelandic schools for those 16 and under have remained open since August. Junior colleges (for students 16-20) and universities did hold classes online in the fall during Iceland’s third wave of infection but are holding in-person classes for the most part now.
Some restrictions are in place that limit class sizes or enforce mask use in schools for older children but for the most part, elementary and middle schools have been free of restrictions. Iceland’s government has prioritised keeping schools (particularly primary schools) open through the pandemic, often relaxing restrictions in schools before other parts of society.
