classrooms for all subjects, teachers travel from classroom to classroom to teach
their subjects.
C School hours are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Students have 10-minute breaks in between
40-minute classes. At noontime the students eat lunch, which is prepared by school
kitchen staff and brought to their classrooms.
