In most Arab countries, the typical work cycle is 6 hours per day, 6 days a week. Recently it shrank to 5 days a week; I'm not sure if the hours-per-day increased.
Typically it was from 8 to 2.
The same goes for school. High school (IIRC) was from 7 to 1, or something like that.

- aridiculous 16y agoWhen I was studying in Vienna, I found out about their interesting model for school day structure. Students would go to school for half of the day. The second half would be dedicated to practicing a skill or trade e.g. piano lessons or culinary arts. I'm not sure if this is institutional throughout Austria, but I know it certainly happened a lot in Vienna.
