The ministry announced this in a statement this year.<br \/>\nThe ministry\u2019s leadership advises school heads and principals to work with shortened class periods so that all subjects can be taught and all learning objectives can be achieved. It is also advised, where necessary, to schedule regular drinking breaks due to the extreme heat.<br \/>\nTeacher S.H. from a Mulo school fully understands the ministry\u2019s decision, because the heat is unbearable. \u201cEspecially after the break, it really starts to get hot.\u201d \u201cThe students will then struggle to follow the lessons with concentration.\u201d As a result of this decision, the mathematics teacher will face time constraints, because he normally had 40 minutes for his lesson, but this will now be shortened to just 30 minutes. \u201cIn the lower grades, that is not really a problem, but in the fourth grades I will face time constraints.\u201d In the examination class, he has to spend more time on the students and prepare them for the SO. \u201cI will have to borrow class periods from colleagues and also teach during substitute periods, but this measure is necessary.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In October, primary and secondary schools under the ministry will close at 12 noon due to extreme heat.
