It appears to contradict some education officials, who have criticised participants for skipping school and threatened them with exclusion.
Mrs Merkel said students might be frustrated at the time taken to move away from coal-based energy but asked them to understand it was a challenge.
Across the world, some students have been leaving school to demand action.
On Friday thousands of high school students in the city of Hamburg marched against climate change, with Swedish activist Greta Thunberg - who started the series of school strikes - present.
