Maharashtra Govt. Proposes 8-Hour Learning Day For Students
Meritnation|Nov 16th, 2015 01:43pm
The Maharashtra State Government has made a proposal to have an 8 hour working day for school students, when recently a suggestion was made as a part of the report sent to the Central Government for the New Education Policy. However this has less chances of turning into a rule. Maharashtra Government’s suggestion is not finding support from schools.
The report states that “although RTE mandates the minimum number of teaching hours for the teachers, there is no emphasis on mandating the learning time of students. Lots of research shows that an 8-hour school time is more effective in improving learning outcomes than others”.
This means that if the learning time was extended to eight hours the overall school functioning would also get extended by one or two more hours. Stating that students do not have long attention span, a school owner said that it’ll be tiring for both teachers and students if the time is extended. Another point added was about the commute students have to undertake from home to school. If this proposal were to be implemented, we would be looking at 10 hour work days for students. Their entire playtime would be finished and they will be completely exhausted by the time they reach home.

i am in 9th and i am not at any price supporting this propose. its sad that the govt even thought of this. we already are short of time. we have to play, tuitions etc. i dont wanna be in school till 4, return at 5, sleep till 6:30 out of tiredness and hence, wasting the whole day !

6 hrs school timing is correct extending it to 8 hrs working …might find difficult.going to school ,tussions and then other classes is only difficult.and even childrens wont have so much of patience.
