Junior and senior high school students have a legal right to two hours of extra tuition per week, to receive homework help, catch up on a missed lesson or delve deeper.
However, schools are poor at providing all students with this time, as shown by the School Inspectorate's review. Out of 60 visited schools, the authority found deficiencies in 30, where students received less than two hours – or could not participate at all.
One reason is that school buses clash with the scheduling of the extra study time. It can also be due to regular teaching or mother tongue tuition clashing with the extra study time. At one school, the extra study time was provided three hours after the end of the regular school day.
