They study from 07h00 to 16h00. The students who have gone through primary school have a good level of English but some come from other schools and their level is lower. They are difficult to work with if activities are not interactive and interesting. The teacher should create additional material to improve communication skills. This way the lesson will be well delivered and learned thus successful.

The lesson happens from Mondays thru Fridays at different times.
