Queensland is set to roll out more flexible class schedules by trialling a four-day school week.
Reportedly, the state government handed school principals a blueprint to change their class times and shorten the school week.
Qld Secondary Principals Association President Mark Breckenridge told Sky News Australia, “One of the things we learnt coming out of the COVID epidemic was that there are different ways in which students prefer to learn”.
“Senior secondary students, many of them while they’re completing their senior secondary studies may also be undertaking a TAFE course, a university subject or undertaking a school-based traineeship or apprenticeship which happens during the school week.”
The shake-up will come into effect from term 1, next year at schools that decide to take on these changes.
