According to the DR website, a number of public schools will delay the start of classes for upper grades by one hour in the morning, in order to give adolescent students the opportunity to get plenty of sleep and come to school more energetically, with the aim of increasing the comfort and well-being of the students.
وقد علق ماتياس تسفايه وزير الطفولة والتعليم بالقول بأن الوالدين مسؤولون عن ضمان حصول أبنائهم المراهقين على قسط كافٍ من النوم وليس المدرسة: “علينا أن نقول للشباب أن هناك شيئاً يسمى وقت النوم، عندما تغلق هاتفك المحمول وتذهب إلى النوم. هذه المسؤولية تقع على عاتق الوالدين. يقول الوزير إن المدارس لا تستطيع حل جميع المشاكل”، بحسب المصدر.
أما من ناحية قانونية فقد علق تسفايه بالقول: “طالما أن اليوم الدراسي يكون ما بين الساعة 8 و 16 وأن الطلاب يحصلون على الساعات التي يطلبها القانون، فإذا كانت هناك فصول دراسية ترغب في تأخير الدوام ويمكن الاتفاق مع معلمهم وتعتقد إدارة المدرسة أنها فكرة جيدة، فلا مشكلة لدي في ذلك”، بحسب DR.
However, Tsvae does not want to encourage more schools to delay the start of the school year and he criticizes the idea that this should be the solution to lack of sleep, especially since it could turn out to be harmful when teenagers have to start higher education and then work later in life.
Many schools across the country are moving towards delaying the start of the school day.
Many schools across the country have opted to allow middle and upper elementary students to arrive an hour later than usual when the school year begins after the summer break. According to the source, citing the schools, the reason is that children or teenagers are not getting enough sleep, which affects their school day and mood.
According to the Public Health Agency, three out of four 15-year-olds do not get the recommended 8-10 hours of sleep due to physical changes and the use of screens in the evening. Lack of sleep results in an increased likelihood of feeling unhappy, having difficulty concentrating, feeling stressed, and experiencing depression.
