Description: Double-shift schooling primarily aims to extend and minimize unit costs. However, some systems only achieve these goals at the expense of educational quality. Planners may be faced with difficult choices when designing systems. Drawing on experiences on a wide range of countries, this publication highlights the advantages and problems of double-shift systems. Comparison is made with single-shift systems, and also with systems having triple, even quadruple shifts.--Publisher's description.
