It is worth mentioning that not all people can study in the mornings (the time slot adopted by the majority); Both children and adults need more than one option to accommodate their activities efficiently and productively. Traditionally, primary and secondary education for people up to 17 years of age does not have a night schedule, but it does have a morning and afternoon schedule.
