In the wake of Eid-ul-Fitr, schools are preparing to implement a new schedule, with classes running school timings from 8:00:00 AM – 01:30 PM. This adjustment brings with it a variety of consequences for students. Faculty members, and the education system itself.
Now, let us turn to the possible positive effects of this transition. The introduction of classes at earlier hours. May provide students with some additional time. To engage with sports or personal studies in the afternoon. Science shows that morning hours are usually preferable. For learning because people are more awake and more attentive. Due to that reason, the earlier part of the school day is designed. To avoid exhausting the cognitive capabilities of students and improve their academic performance.
Besides, rescheduling the school hours may correspond. To the biological internal clocks of teenagers better. For teens it is normally shifts in the sleep cycle. That happens during the puberty, so they tend to prefer going to sleep later and getting up later in the morning. Through the practice of finishing lessons earlier in the dayscools may adapt. To these biological changes and promote better sleep hygiene among students.
As to the another point the new plan will help teachers having more time. For professional development, lessons planning and teamwork with the colleagues. Being gifted with afternoons, teachers can take part in continuous programs. Or in the interdisciplinary projects, enhancing the curriculum.
On the other hand, although the school starting time change provides several benefits. It is also associated with some challenges. A problem is the effect on working parents that need the traditional school schedule. To find childcare and to synchronize their jobs. The change might necessitate rearrangements of work schedules and childcare. Which is problematic for some families.
Additionally, the school timings refers. To the rethinking of the curricular delivery system. And the student help services by the schools. Due to shorter class time, teachers will need to choose the most important ideas. And make their classroom activities concise enough to fit all course content. On the other hand the services like tutoring. Or counseling need to be run at compatible times to rationally use the limited period.
Changing school hours is a deliberate maneuver. By authorities in an effort to improve the way schools function. And to increase learners’ performance. Admittedly the transition may be tough at beginning yet. We can also consider it a chance to develop the system in accordance. With the changing requirements of the students and staff. Through collaborative efforts and being agile to all inputs. From stakeholders school officials can ease school’s transition. And open up the path for a more productive and fulfilling educational experience.
