DepEd Set To Release Guidelines About Regulating Homework For Students
The Department of Education is set to issue Guidelines adjusting the numbers of homework that will be given to the students.
Education Secretary Leonor Briones said that DepEd will release a directive containing guidelines regulating the distribution of homework to students during weekdays. DepEd also aims to limit the activities given to school children.
The directive also includes DepEd Memorandum No. 392 that prohibits the giving of homework to the students during weekends. Briones said that the directive would give students more quality for their parents and also to enjoy their childhood.
“Right now, we are discouraging homework during weekends, but we need to issue a new directive, pending the approval of the bills, that will regulate or limit the homework given on weekdays,” Briones said.
Briones explained that parents or guardians usually accomplish the homework given by the teachers to the students. She also encouraged the teachers to perform all the lessons and analytical thinking activities for the students inside the classroom.
Earlier this week, Sorsogon Representative Evelina Escudero filed the House Bill 3611 that seeks to implement the “no-homework” policy from kindergarten to Grade 12.
