The Polish government has introduced strict limits on the amount of homework pupils must do in a bid to modernise the education system.
Teachers will no longer give required homework to children in the first to third grades.
“I’m happy because this homework, I did not like it too much,” said 11-year-old Warsaw pupil Ola, “It didn’t really make much sense because most people in my class would copy it in the morning from someone who had done the homework.”
Sławomir Broniarz, the head of the Polish Teachers’ Union, says that while he recognises the need to ease burdens on students, the new rules have been imposed without adequate consultation with educators.
Broniarz argues that removing homework could widen the educational gaps between children who have strong support at home and those from families with less support and lower expectations.
Poland’s education system has undergone a number of controversial overhauls with almost every new government making changes.
