While defending the choice of hours, he gave an example of Finland which uses only 3 hours yet it remains to have a world class education system.

“Finland has a 3-hour teaching regime yet it is reputed to have a world-class system of education. Schools need to adhere to the school hours which allows learners to manage learning and engage in physical education activities,”Machogu said
