Instruction time varies among schools, subjects, pupils and grades. This variation is positively associated with test … administrative data on delivered and timetabled instruction time in each grade throughout compulsory school for three full cohorts of … Danish children, and find positive marginal hours effects on 9th grade test scores using accumulated time which are twice as …
