My understanding is that the request for two and a half days by teachers has been turned down by the education council for the reasons that the education council does not see any reason why 190 days should be reduced. They would like the kids to be in the classroom for the total of 190 days. I believe that is the main reason that the school education council does not want to see additional days off school for the kids. They are saying that the 190 school days should not be diminished by additional in-service days. Thank you.
