I agree that school premises should be utilised more, not only for mainstream full-time education but for adult courses. School holidays need not mean a complete shut down. The “shift” proposal is worthy of further consideration. However, there would be an increase in school-run traffic and implications for parents who work “normal” hours.

I think it’s great idea to operate school buildings in a shift system but unlike the Malaysians our parents would be in absolute uproar if it ever happened. Everybody seems to be telling the political pollsters that they think education is a vital issue, but the unspoken truth is that, given the choice, rather than have a huge improvement in our state schools, most British men would actually choose the option of seeing their football team promoted and most women would prefer the option of having a smaller bum. Not so in Kuala Lumpur!
