The Ministry of Education and Training is considering delaying the earliest back-to-school time from August 1 to after August 15 to increase summer vacation time for students.
Our generation starts school on September 5th and starts studying right away.
In the past, when I was young, school started on September 5, then classes started on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday mornings, then Thursday had a break in the middle of the week, then classes on Friday and Saturday. In the afternoons, I often worked to help the family.
This year, summer vacation doesn’t start until July 15, but school starts at the earliest on August 1. Do students only have summer vacation for more than two weeks?
In the past, the first day of school and opening day was September 5.
Let’s wait for the first day of school to send our children back to school.
>> ‘The opening ceremony after studying is all about formality’
When I used to have three full months of summer vacation, the first day of school was also the first day of school. How meaningful the word `opening of school` is.
I think the Ministry of Education and Training should let students at all levels start school and start the new school year from September 5.
Don’t say this during a pandemic when this should have been done throughout.
In the past, going to school was so much fun, there was nothing to learn, no more, no less, then I passed the university entrance exam, and then I became a person.
Even if you study 1-2 weeks early, you won’t be able to get much better.
