School should start at 9:15 and finish at 2:30 to support student well-being. Later start times help teens sleep properly, improve focus, and boost morale, while shorter days reduce stress and create a healthier, more productive learning environment for all students.

Background
We want Parliament to support changing school hours to 9:15–2:30 because student well-being is a national concern. Teens need adequate sleep to learn effectively, stay healthy, and maintain morale. By adjusting school hours, Parliament can set a positive example, reduce stress, improve focus, and help students across the country reach their full potential
