Milestones

Reduce the school week to 4 days. Have optional extra-curricular activities at the end of the day to help children with exams. Students with disabilities could have optional clubs on the day off to build skills that could benefit their education.

This could benefit children’s mental health which is vital for their wellbeing and development. Teachers also will have more time off to spend with their family or could use that time to plan for their week ahead and undertake any additional training they need.
