Petition calls for later school starts to ease Luxembourg traffic
Paper argues starting school hour later would ease rush-hour morning traffic, help children be more productive at school.
Luxembourg's Chamber of Deputies has given the go-ahead for the opening of a petition to push the start of the school day forward an hour in a bid to reduce morning rush-hour traffic.
The petition, launched by Claude Feltgen, states that "one of the biggest problems in transport in Luxembourg" is the congestion at around 8am.
Feltgen points out that starting school days one hour later would mean pupils would not be making their way to school during this peak time.
He also states that studies show pupils are more productive when they start their school day later.
The petition asks for the change to apply to primary and secondary schools.
On Wednesday, the Chamber agreed for the petition to be made available for signatories.
By Thursday morning, it had received almost 200 signatures.
