1 | Why Is It Such a Controversy to Start the School Day at 9am in South Korea? | Fa Maninona No Toa Adihevitra Be Ny Ora Fidirana An-tsekoly Amin'ny 9 Ora Maraina Ao Korea Atsimo? |
2 | Young Korean children studying at a “hagwon.” | Ankizy Koreana mianatra ao amin'ny “hagwon (fanampim-pianarana).” |

5 | South Korea is notorious for its highly competitive and grueling education system, which forces young children to study from early in the morning until late at night. | Fantatra amin'ny rafi-pampianarana tia mifaninana tokoa sy henjana i Korea Atsimo, izay manery ny ankizy hianatra manomboka vao maraimbe ary mirava tara amin'ny alina. |
6 | The official school day runs from just 8am until 4pm, but students typically leave campus for “hagwons,” private tutoring institutes, where they continue studying until late at night (and sometimes even into the morning hours). | Manomboka amin'ny 8 ora hatramin'ny 4 ora hariva ny tontolo andro fianarana ofisialy, saingy mandao ny sekoly hamonjy ny “hagwons“, na manao “cours“, izay hanohizan'izy ireo ny fianarany hatramin'ny alimbe (ary indraindray aza hatramin'ny maraina mihitsy). |
7 | In mid-August, South Korea's Gyeonggi Province decided to delay the start of the school day by one hour, hoping to allow children more sleep. | Tamin'ny tapaky ny volana Aogositra, nanapa-kevitra hanemotra adiny iray ny ora fidiran'ny mpianatra ny Faritanin'i Gyeonggi ao Korea Atsimo, mba hahafahan'ireo ankizy hahazo torimaso bebe kokoa. |
8 | This new “9am late-start system” has provoked a nationwide debate, and several other provinces are now considering similar policies. | Niteraka adihevitra tao amin'ny firenena ity “rafitra vaovao fidirana tara amin'ny 9 ora” ity, ary faritany maro hafa ankehitriny no mikasa hampihatra politika tahaka izany ihany koa. |
9 | The response online has been divided. | Nizarazara ny fanehoan-kevitra antserasera. |
10 | Some Koreans say the “reform” merely restores school hours that used to be in place. | Nilaza ny Koreana sasany fa manavao fotsiny ny ora fianarana mahazatra ny “rafitra”. |
11 | Others have expressed concerns that over-zealous parents will still find ways to abuse the news system, presumably by finding new tutoring in the early morning hours. | Ny hafa kosa naneho ny ahiahiny fa hahita fomba hanitsakitsahana ity rafitra vaovao ity ireo ray aman-dreny diso mazoto loatra, amin'ny fitadiavana cours vaovao manomboka maraimbe . |
12 | Those people who call the 9am late-start system a controversy - it's like watching drivers who go over 100km per hour on the highway criticize the sane ones who drive under the 100km/h limit, calling THEM crazy. | Ireo olona mitsikera ny rafitra fidirana tara amin'ny 9 ora - dia tahaka ny mijery saofera mandeha mihoatra ny 100 km isan'ora amin'ny arabe ary mitsikera ireo salama saina mandeha ambanin'ny fetra 100 km isan'ora, ka miantso azy ireo ho adala. |
13 | Both posts below have attracted more than 1,300 retweets. | Nisy nampita mihoatra ny in-1300 (retweet) ireto lahatsoratra roa eto ambany ireto. |
14 | What gives me goosebumps are these soccer moms chatting about the 9am late-start system. | Ny mampihoro-koditra dia ireo renim-pianakaviana mpilalao baolina kitra mitakoritsika momba ny rafitra fidirana tara amin'ny 9 ora maraina. |
15 | I overheard them talking, all giggling, that the late-start might undermine effective studying. | Nahare azy ireo niresaka, sy nivanitika aho fa mety hanohintohina ny fianarana mahomby ny fahataran'ny fidirana. |
16 | Now they will wake them up before 7am and put them to work on their prep books or something. | Hamoha ankizy alohan'ny amin'ny 7 ora maraina izy ireo ankehitriny mba hianaran'izy amin'ny boky fanomanana na zavatra hafa. |
17 | They are insane. | Tsy salama saina. |
18 | Actually there are many kids who oppose the 9am system, as it would likely push regular school hours later, cutting into students' already limited free time. | Maro tokoa ireo ankizy tanora manohitra ny rafitra miditra amin'ny 9 ora maraina, satria toa tahaka ny manemotra ny ora fianarana mahazatra izany, manapaka ny fotoana malalaka efa voafetra ananan'ireo mpianatra. |
19 | When schools switched from a 6-day school week to a 5-day week, for instance, vacation times shrunk, because the number of mandatory total school days remained high. | Raha nosoloina 6 andro ao anatin'ny herinandro ny fianarana 5 andro ao anatin'ny herinandro, mihena ny fotoan'ny fialan-tsasatra, satria mbola ambony dia ambony ny fitambaran'ny andro tsy maintsy hianarana. |
20 | The total number of mandatory school days is what needs to be reduced. | Ny fitambaran'ny andro tsy maintsy hianarana no tokony nahena. |
21 | The controversy about the later start time isn't entirely about students' wellbeing, of course. | Mazava loatra, tsy mikasika ny mahasoa ny mpianatra ihany ny adihevitra momba ny fanombohan'ora tara. |
22 | Many of the worries have more to do with parents' work schedules than children's studying. | Maro ny ahiahy misy ifandraisany bebe kokoa amin'ny ora fiasan'ny ray aman-dreny noho ny fianaran'ny ankizy. |
23 | Indeed, according to one survey, over 73 percent of students like the new change, while only 56 percent parents are in favor. | Raha ny marina, araka ny fitsapan-kevitra natao, mpianatra maherin'ny 73 isan-jato no mankasitraka ilay fanovana vaovao, raha 56 isan-jato ihany ny ray aman-dreny mankasitraka izany. |
24 | I fully understand that double-income parents have a hard time adjusting to the 9am system. | Mazava amiko tanteraka fa sarotra hoan'ireo ray aman-dreny samy mampidi-bola ny hizatra amin'ny rafitra fidirana amin'ny 9 ora. |
25 | But I was left a bit perplexed, watching a mother on the morning news tell reporters that she opposes the new system “because she works.” | Saingy somary sanganehana kely ihany aho, nijery renim-pianakaviana iray tamin'ny vaovao maraina izay nilaza tamin'ny mpanoratra gazety fa manohitra ny rafitra vaovao izy “noho izy miasa”.” |
26 | She could have demanded that schools find something else for kids to do before the school day, but opposing it just because it's inconvenient is ridiculous. | Tokony hangataka izy mba hahita zavatra ho ataon'ny ankizy alohan'ny fidiran'ny sekoly, mampihomehy ny manohitra satria manelingelina ilay izy. |
