The students of Zilnon Namgeylling Primary School in Thimphu will have to come back to school by 4 PM for study hours, starting 1 November.
For rest of the schools across the country, the winter time means they will get to leave for home an hour or so, early.
The study hours for the students of Zilnon will go on until 7 PM.
“First of all, they learn to manage their time effectively and it also gives them a good opportunity to keep in touch with the lessons that was taught in the classes,” said the Principal, Kuenzang Thinley.
He said this would be an opportunity for the students to make use of the resources effectively and to the maximum.
Kuenzang Thinley also said since 95 percent of the students live near by the school, which is located inside the police camp, going back home is not an issue for the students.
Supervising the study hours is voluntary for the teachers. The school also receives police officials’ everyday to supervise the study hours, as support from the Royal Bhutan Police.
