Cambodian authorities have ordered a one-hour reduction in the length of school days because of concerns that students and teachers may fall ill from a prolonged heatwave.
The country’s education minister Hang Chuon Naron said in an announcement on Friday that the shortened hours will remain in effect until the rainy season starts, which usually occurs in May.

The current heat wave, in which temperatures are regularly reaching as high as 41C (106F), is one of the longest in memory.
Most schools in Cambodia lack air conditioning, prompting concern that temperatures inside classrooms could rise to unhealthy levels.

School authorities were instructed to watch for symptoms of heat stroke and urge pupils to drink more water.
The new hours cut 30 minutes off the beginning of the school day and 30 minutes off the end.
School authorities instituted a similar measure in 2016.

Who are you to question Khmer official logic?
That way they're also saving on electric power. They have a way of looking at the bigger picture that the western mind simply can't apprehend!

I thought I read elsewhere it was ending the morning session 30 minutes earlier, and starting the afternoon session 30 minutes later?

What they need to do is start earlier and finish before 3. Like most western countries.
That's very difficult to do, for a variety of reasons.
-people are used to this rhythm
-the rhythm will change when the rains do, no when we want it to
-maybe the problem is not the weather, but here: Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam...they all cope..only here does not
Or...they could just plan the grid, but...
