Teneffüs — Break Between Lessons
A ten-minute reset after every lesson.
Why Teneffüs matters
Breaks increase productivity and creativity — while long stretches without a break lead to stress and exhaustion. MIT recommends 50 minutes of study followed by a ten-minute break as the most efficient way to learn. Teneffüs — the break between lessons — is part and parcel of the Turkish education system, and Mazen Schools have implemented it in Pakistan for the very first time. Ten minutes of decompression after every lesson has produced a healthy, positive impact on our students' learning: better socialisation, higher emotional intelligence, and dramatically reduced hyperactivity.
“We got a 10-minute Teneffüs break between each lesson — I love it so much. We play games with our friends and teach each other new things. Taking a Teneffüs keeps me fresh for the next lesson.”
