flag English and Welsh schools urged to test four-day workweeks for teachers to reduce burnout.

flag Schools in England and Wales are being urged to trial four-day workweeks for teachers to tackle rising workloads and improve wellbeing, with the 4 Day Week Foundation and Labour leader Bridget Phillipson supporting the move. flag While government rules require five-day weeks, schools have legal flexibility to experiment, and some have already tested alternatives like 4.5-day or nine-day fortnight schedules. flag The Department for Education highlights improved teacher retention and supports flexible working through funded programs, though it maintains the importance of a full school week for students.
