A comparison of differences and similarities between the schools

Comparing our schools there are some similarities as well as some differences.

Holidays

There’s no difference between Christmas and Easter holidays, but there’s a small one between the summer holidays. Our summer holiday lasts two months but in Ireland they have three months holidays. It would be good to adopt the way of Irish school system to our school.

A Day At School

In Humenné we begin our lessons at a quarter to eight, in Bratislava they begin at eight and in Ireland at nine. On average the time that students spend at school is about six hours. Our school day finishes at about 2 o’clock, that’s the same time as in Bratislava. In Ireland lessons finish at about 4 o’clock. That’s something we don’t have to adopt.

SUBJECTS

In both countries we study the same subjects, although in Ireland the names of the subjects are different. We think that all of the students would like to experience at least one typical day at school in a different country.
