Sleep some more: HCMC schools push back morning classes

The  Nguyen  Du  secondary  school  in  the  downtown  District  1  said  Wednesday  that  morning  classes  would  begin  15  minutes  later  at  7:15  a.m.  starting  next  Monday.

The  Nguyen  Thai  Binh  primary  school  in  District  4  would  also  push  back  morning  class  hours  by  15  minutes  to  7:30  a.m.  starting  next  week.

Principal  Le  Ngoc  Phong  said  pushing  back  hours  by  15  minutes  would  not  be  a  significant  change,  and  students  can  still  have  enough  time  to  either  have  breakfast  at  school  or  at  home.

Most  schools  in  HCMC  typically  begin  morning  classes  at  7  a.m.  Many  students  have  to  wake  up  early  in  the  morning  to  prepare  for  class,  which  could  negatively  affect  their  sleeping  hours,  experts  and  parents  have  said.

Following  people's  complaints,  the  HCMC  Department  of  Education  and  Training  announced  that  the  earliest  morning  school  hours  for  primary  schools  would  be  7:30  a.m.,  7:15  a.m.  for  secondary  schools  and  7  a.m.  for  high  schools.

Ho  Tan  Minh,  office  head  of  the  HCMC  education  department,  said  that  regardless  of  the  new  timings,  schools  must  open  their  gates  at  6:30  a.m.  so  that  parents  can  drop  their  children  off  before  going  to  work.
