How can the same amount of material be taught in half the time?
In private schools here, the kids take all the regular history, science, English, Khmer and math classes But they take English versions of those subjects AND also the Khmer versions. So they have 2 math classes, 2 History classes, etc.. Most go to school full time which includes a half day on Saturday. Their homework is through the roof and they work very very hard. They have far more than what is put on a western student in the US.
I know of a girl that is in a 6th grade class in private school full time and is homeschooled for the 7th and 8th grade at night.
Still here, in country...

Most schools and universities in Cambodia are half day. It does not take longer to graduate.Ravensnest wrote: ↑Sun Jan 27, 2019 10:09 amThose are part time students.

I am only familiar with private primary schools here. They can go "part time", that's their term for it, but most go full time.explorer wrote: ↑Sun Jan 27, 2019 11:54 amMost schools and universities in Cambodia are half day.
