German schools

Having enjoyed a German education and worked in the English education system for nearly 20 years, I am always appalled at the complete disregard for education in most of the education secretary’s past and present suggestions, laws, rules and amendments.

The school day in Germany starts at 7.45am and for primary school children (age seven in the first year) it finishes at either 11.45am or 12.35pm. For higher years it then goes up to a 2.10pm finish.

Lunch break in Germany (also called big break) is 25 minutes.
