It is not the intention that young people have compulsory written homework, but it is impossible that they do not learn. We will continue to learn at home, Katarzyna Lubnauer, deputy head of the Ministry of National Education, said on Radio Plus on Tuesday. The journalist pointed out that according to the ministry’s announcement, students were required to rest outside of school.
Deputy Minister Lubnauer noted in the program “Sedno Sprawy” that young people are still obliged to learn outside school lessons, with the help of electronic textbooks. However, the journalist pointed out that the youth should rest at home.
The regulations already state that the school is obliged to provide a place (…) for leaving school books. And now, in order to leave their textbooks behind, young people must have their electronic equivalent
– said a politician from the Nowoczesna party.
‘Young people continue to learn at home’
However, a journalist from Radio Plus asked why students should have electronic equivalents.
So that young people can learn at home
– she explained.
After all, young people are not supposed to study at home
– noted the host of the program, referring to the latest project of the Ministry of National Education.
No, because there is no required written homework and he is not allowed to study in any way. We continue to study at home
– emphasized Lubnauer.
Nowacka announced time off
The head of the Ministry of Education said on Radio ZET on Tuesday that abolishing homework makes children smarter and that they should have free time.
All research shows that regardless of whether there is a lot, little or no homework, this does not change the competencies of the person who completes school. (…) Children also need some time to rest
– said Barbara Nowacka.
According to the recently presented regulation of the Ministry of Education, teachers teaching grades I to III of primary school do not assign written and practical homework that students have to complete in their spare time from teaching. In grades 4 to 8, the teacher may assign written or practical homework to the student to complete during free time from lessons, but this may not be compulsory or subject to assessment. According to the Ministry of National Education, the teacher, according to the assumption, checks written or practical homework and informs the student about the correctness and quality of its completion.
Are Minister Nowacka’s announcements about the lack of homework and the need to provide free time after classes a fiction? Or perhaps the coalition politicians still have not reached an agreement on issues that are important to students? How much confusion can parents and their children expect from Donald Tusk’s government?
