The government of Madhya Pradesh plans to increase the working hours in schools from 10am-5pm from the next academic session which is July. This initiative is to improve the performance of the students in schools by increasing the time for each period and perhaps a study period as well. However, many are skeptical about this plan-- educators are concerned because children cannot be forced to learn by keeping them in the school premises. Other concerns are like having to catch up on co-curricular activities. Parents are worried that if students get home only after 5pm, that leaves no room for coaching classes. Or children might end up sleeping late.
