The order signed by the Minister of Education, Daniel David, regulates homework in pre-university education, dividing it into mandatory and supplementary assignments. At the primary level, the time allocated for mandatory homework will not exceed one hour, while for other levels, it will be two hours. During vacation periods, no homework will be assigned to students in primary and secondary education.
The document stipulates that homework must be differentiated to avoid negative effects on students, such as fatigue or loss of interest in learning. Additionally, the use of homework as a punishment is prohibited. Feedback from students and parents will be collected annually to assess the effectiveness of homework. The Minister emphasized that the regulation aims for a more efficient and pleasant educational context, encouraging collaboration between teachers, students, and parents. The order will be published in the Official Gazette.
