The length of the school -day in most Canadian provinces is 5.0 to 5.5 hours, with a shorter day for the early primary years. In Ontario regula- tions specify not less than five hours be spent in school excluding recesses or scheduled intervals between classes. "The idea that increasing amount of time spent in the classroom will increase learning can appear persuasive. It seems reasonably based on logic and common sense, and generally accepted pedagogical theory has long seen time to be an impor- tant factor in learning. The Committee found, however, that available research in- dicates that there is no simple or direct relationship between greater time spent at school and enhanced learning," claims the report. The report says factors such as children's overall mental and physical capacity and the effort they put into lear- ning are more important than the length of a school day, "Lengthening the school dray tended to be the least cost-effective means of increasing achievement," says the study, adding that most groups attending before the committee suggested no major modifications to the present length of the school day. The committee recommended that the Ministry of Education review the Educa- tion Act and its regulations to ensure that boards have the required flexibility to ad- just semester lengths and make minor variations in the length of the school year or clay. THE YEAR-ROUND CALENDAR In the year-round system the instruc- tional year is organized so that rather than a two or three month break in the sum- mer, shorter vacation periods are in- terspersed throughout the year. For exam- ple, students and teachers may be in school for 45 days. followed by 15 days off. There are other systems which operate on 60-20 day. or 90-30 day variations. In some schools there is a single track system with students moving on and off track together throughout the . year. In others, a multi- track plan has been introduced and students are divided into equal groups pr tracks for course scheduling. Some students attend classes while others are on vacation. This allows the school to be us- ed all the time and more students (20 to 50 percent more students from the US ex- perience i can be accommodated without any capital expansion. The report refers to Dr. Ballinger, ex- ecutive director of the National Association for Year -Round Education, who emphasizes the advantages of year-round education: "The traditional school calendar has always been art economic calendar. It served the agricultural economy of the last century and the first half of this century very well. But its reason for being is over. Year round education more nearly con- forms to the way • students; indeed all humans, learn, People learn continuously. The year-round calendar provides -a more continuous stream of instruction " .Dr.__Ballinger says the main lines ;,,of criticism of year round education -'tend to be largely lifestyle issues such as vacation scheduling, arranging for childcare, and recreational activities. INSTRUCTIONAL IMPLICATIONS It is argued that shorter vacation periods w o f 8 S$.0 y between educational sessions increase con- tinuity and result in less learning loss. Time spent on review in September and October wider the traditional system may be saved, AN OPTION FOR ONTARIO? In the Ontario context people have argued against the 12 -month school year because of the climate and preference of vacationing to the summer. Other groups felt summer school and continuing educa- tion provisions are meeting needs that could be met by year-round education. The Ontario Separate School Trustees' Association and the Ontario Catholic Super- visory Officer's Association stated it is difficult to see what could be achieved by such an organization to the year which is not already available through the intelligent. use of our current summer school provisions. We believe an expansion of the summer programs to meet identified needs is probably more feasible and acceptable than school all - year -round." Other groups have suggested the greatest learning loss occurs in the first few weeks of a break and for that reason little is to be gained from the greater continuity of year-round learning. RECOMMENDATIONS The committee report further recom- mends the Ministry allow for and facilitate year-round pilot projects, and set out pro- tocol for boards to follow when considering changes to the school year. This would in- clude a provision that full consultation with parents, teachers and community groups must take place.
