A recent report by a committee on education policy claims that increasing the duration of school days will enhance students' overall academic performance. They argue that longer hours provide additional time for instruction and help students better grasp complex subjects. However, there are concerns that longer school days might lead to fatigue among students and diminish their motivation to learn.

To bolster their argument, the committee cites a study conducted in three large school districts where extending school hours resulted in improved standardized test scores. Critics point out that this data may not apply universally, as those districts have unique demographics and educational resources.
