Recess, a time for all our friends to get together to enjoy one of the best things in life. Chilling and eating! Well, the best part of school is about to get an extension!
If you ever felt rushed during recess and have to stuff down food instead of really enjoying your meal, we’ve got good news for you! It was recently announced that schools now have the right to increase the standard recess time of 20 minutes to 30 minutes!

Deputy Education Minister, Teo Nie Ching, was quoted by Chinese newspaper publication, Sin Chew Daily, on the time extension, following complaints by parents that the current recess break was inadequate for students.
It was brought to her attention that some students would eat their meals while standing, and while other would have to stuff food down due to the short recess time.

According to the minister, the Education Ministry’s policy allows schools to set their own recess times between 20-30 minutes.
“Schools do not need to apply for permission from any agency. The ministry allows the schools to determine the time as the situation is different for each school,” she said.
We think that an extra 10 minutes would make a lot of difference! Do you think the extra time is a good idea?
