Info about the new school secedule
Another change to come this year is a return to France’s traditional 4.5-day school week in primary institutions.
Under Sarkozy, the school week was reduced to only four days, which meant longer hours in class for primary students. Peillon plans to revert to the old system, arguing that by reducing the length of school-days, children will be able to pursue extra-curricular activities during the week.
While schools in the capital already have the new schedule in place, the government has given the rest of the country until September 2014 to introduce it. Some schools, however, are more reluctant than others, with critics complaining that the longer school week is expensive and complicated to organise.
