Shorter week for schools

Shorter week for schools

DENPASAR, Bali: The local education authorities said schools
which do not share premises could start experimenting with the
five-day school week.

Schools which still share premises in shifts however must
continue to function six-day a week, head of the local Education
and Cultural Office Dewa Putu Tengah said, as reported by the
Antara news agency.

Because of the lack of facilities, particularly buildings,
many schools in Bali still operate on a shift basis, morning and
afternoon. Experts said that the five-day school week scheme
entails longer hours during the weekdays and this means that the
shift arrangement will have to be changed to morning and evening.
