With the new change also, there would not be breaks between classes as each will have a duration of 90 minutes.
A parent, Al Naqbi, also complained about how her children are always saddled with too much homework that they rarely have time for hobbies.
“My daughter is in grade seven and she used to love reading but had no time for activities she enjoys.
“I have to help my children and they get lots of homework. My husband and I often discuss that this is a problem for us a family as we do not get time to even sit together,” she said.
She said that it is a very good decision as it would allow her children to explore other things in life aside from what they learn in school.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Wilfred Asuquo, a Nigerian living in the US, narrated how he was able to break the stigma that is commonly associated with Higher National Diploma (HND).
He said that he was able to graduate with an amazing 3.30/4.0 CGPA despite the fact that many took him for an unserious student because he was into school politics.
Asuquo said he had to go to a polytechnic because he could not afford the financial cost of attending a university, and not that he couldn’t get admission into one.

He even added that he had admission into three different universities for pharm*cy, medicine, and pharmacology.
On commenting on the bias between an HND holder and a university graduate, he said no one should ever allow that stop them.
