SHOULD SCHOOL HOURS BE EXTENDED ?

The present hours of study can only develop a partial growth of our potential, thus falling short of our national education philosophy.

Extending schools hours can do wonders to promote wholesome growth of our potentials.

Firstly in students' academic pursuit, subjects such as Physics,Chemistry and Biology can ideally be taught with proper preparation and with interesting Audio and Visual support. Preparing powerpoint slide with added sound needs time. Not like the chalk and talk as at present.. The teacher does not rush through the syllabus, the touch and go affair. Remember Practice makes perfect. By extending school hours, more exercises and enrichment exercises can be given to reinforce learning. Students don’t need tuition anymore. The reason why tuition centers spring up like mushrooms is because of inadequate quality of teaching. Not only that the teacher can now advise, supervise and revise with the students at their own pace, thus acoomodating quck and slow learners. ……..
