Recommended annual instruction time in full-time compulsory education in Europe
This report analyses the recommended minimum instruction time in full-time compulsory general education in 39 education systems.
Effective learning depends on many factors, but undoubtedly, the instruction time available to students plays a key role in their learning process. Along with the quality of instruction and the time available for learning after school, the increase in the amount of instruction time allocated to a discipline can help to raise students’ interest in that subject and can have positive effect on students’ performance, even more when the increase is accompanied by other support measures and directed at disadvantaged students.
