英国是世界上中小学假期最多的国家,一年的假期有6个。2005年政府对实行了130多年的公立学校学期制进行了较大的变革,学校每一学年由过去的3个学期改为6个,学期之间即为例行的假期。这种假期安排主要是想通过更经常的休息来减轻教师的压力。 Britain is the country with the largest number of primary and secondary school holidays in the world, with 6 holidays a year. In 2005, the government made great changes to the semester system of public schools which has been in operation for more than 130 years. Each school year was changed from the previous three semesters to six and the semester was a routine holiday. This holiday arrangement is mainly intended to relieve teacher stress through more frequent breaks.
