Starting from September, a new law takes effect.
It allows students to credit what they learn in hobby schools at school.
A student can be exempt from a music or sports class.
This requires the curriculum of the hobby school to align with the school's curriculum.
The student submits an application. The school makes an agreement with the parent.
The student can leave earlier or arrive later to school.
Previously, schools have been able to credit what was learned in hobby schools.
Now this is extended to primary schools.
The director says that creating the schedule is difficult.
The students are from different classes. There are few of them.
The student can use free time to study other subjects.
The teacher's workload increases.
In one school, students have individual curricula.
Students decide for themselves how to use their time.
They often have the opportunity to do creative work.
Another director says there are many questions.
Do schools have enough space for free classes?
It is difficult to monitor whether students continue attending hobby schools.
