As usual, children are way ahead of adults. Japanese schools were closed for over two weeks due to the Coronavirus quarantine and will remain closed until after spring break. Since the Japanese school year ends in March and begins in April, for many students in elementary school, middle school or high school, this closing period means that their graduation ceremonies will be missing. But some graduates of the creative elementary school in Japan, they came up with a great solution. If they couldn't have a graduation ceremony at school, then why not have a digital one in a place everyone meets often anyway ... a Minecraft!
I graduated from Japan on Minecraft
A Japanese user shows on Twitter the virtual diploma that his elementary school son had taken along with his friends. The really impressive thing is that the idea of "graduating" from Minecraft in these schools in Japan, did not start with teachers or faculty, the students decided to do it themselves!

The situation in Japan
the Japanese government is trying to implement measures to contain the virus, while the epidemic is still in its early stages. After the Prime Minister Shinzo Abe asked all elementary and middle and high schools to temporarily close, said the next two weeks will be fundamental to contain the epidemic.
Spring break in Japan usually lasts ten days from the third week of March, ending in early April. While no classes are held during the vacation period in Japan, students continue to attend school for club activities, with teachers who also work at school. In light of Abe's announcement, spring break for students across Japan starts early. But it was crucial to do so, as they were reported 15 new cases, two of which were children under the age of ten.
The northern island of Hokkaido now has the largest number of infected in Japan, with a total of 54 recorded cases, including a teacher and a school bus driver.
The future of Tokyo Olympics this summer now depends on the early containment of the virus, which has spread to 50 countries and territories, with over 82.000 cases and over 2.800 deaths reported worldwide.
