Require schools to have a half day on a Friday or Monday

Petition Details

We call on the Government to implement a policy requiring schools to have half-days on either Mondays or Fridays. Our policy aims to improve well-being, increase productivity, and create opportunities for students to engage in extracurricular activities, family time, or independent learning.

Additional Information

Many experts have argued that a balanced schedule can enhance mental health, reduce stress, and promote better focus during full school days. By transitioning one day to a half-day, we believe schools can foster a more flexible learning environment while maintaining educational standards.
