Mandate seven-hour days Monday to Thursday in schools for shorter Fridays

We ask the Government to require all schools to have seven-hour days Monday to Thursday, while Fridays are reduced to 4.5 hours. This would preserve the total learning time required for education while allowing students a shorter end to the week.

We think a shorter Friday would give students something to look forward to at the end of the week allowing for a reduction in stress, improvement in concentration, mental wellbeing and allowing for more family time.
