“What do we do with homework? Too many themes are given and what measures we can take”, Are the questions received by the minister.
“Things are very well regulated. Basically, for the preparatory class we should not have homework, in the area of primary and secondary education all themes should not exceed one hour, and in the high school area somewhere around two hours“, Said the minister on Thursday, March 6th.
According to the minister, if parents are experiencing issues about homework, they must talk to the school manager or director.
“If there are such problems, you will ask you to notify those who respond, who coordinate these things, to the leader, the school director. If you do not receive an answer, go to the inspectorate area until you reach the ministry level“Added the Minister of Education.
However, Daniel David told Tuesday that the current model of high school education should be changed because “”Intelligent young people enter and with creativity similar to those in other western countries, but people do not come out as performing. “
“It is a legal pressure. The new law rethinks the baccalaureate, we must rethink the disciplines and the connection with the baccalaureate. It is a curricular pressure. We should do this in 2021, as the generation from the gymnasium, which entered the new framework plans in 2017, to enter a similar logic, somewhat and at high school level. It is a pressure related to the load we put on the shoulders of our children.
And it is a pressure that comes from the performance of the system, wanting to do not want at any time, Pisa or other international results, high school performance does not look good. Creative intelligent young people enter, with intelligence and creativity similar to those we see in other western countries, but there are no equally performing people. This tells me that the models we have in the area of high school at this time are no longer adequate. We need to change them”, Stated the Minister of Education in a public debate on framework plan projects for high school education.
