EducationEducation
Key Points
  • FAU requests shorter school days for grades 1–4 at Svarholt School
  • Proposal includes eliminating 'free Wednesday' and redistributing teaching hours
  • Current schedule: 09:00–14:30 four days a week, sometimes five

In a letter to the municipality, the FAU requests shorter school days, elimination of the 'free Wednesday', and a more even distribution of teaching hours throughout the week. The current schedule has students in class from 09:00 to 14:30 four days a week, with some weeks including full school days every weekday. The FAU believes these long days negatively affect students' concentration, motivation, and learning outcomes.

The municipality has not yet indicated how it will respond to the request.
