I cannot give you the dates but in rural areas children were absent from school at harvesting times including strawberry season as they had to work with their parents. It was becoming a big problem as some days there were very few children in class so I assume Parliament or the Ministry of Education introduced 6 weeks school holidays in the summer to prevent bunking off to the fields etc
