The exploration of a shortened school week has gained traction as seen in Colorado and Edo, Nigeria. Both initiatives aim to compress the academic schedule into fewer days to alleviate pressures—Colorado’s four-day week seeks to ease commuting and staffing issues, while Edo’s three-day week focuses on addressing fuel subsidy removal challenges. Despite the reduction in school days, hours are extended to ensure comprehensive coverage of the curriculum, fostering flexibility and new learning possibilities for students and teachers alike.
Teaching for just four days a week provides a welcome respite for educators, alleviating their commuting costs and enhancing their work-life balance through a shorter workweek.
The Edo state government has also adopted a three-day school week, reflecting a trend of condensing school schedules to alleviate pressures on educators and students alike.
