Secretary Briones in favor of ‘no homework’ policy


DepED Secretary Leonor Briones said on Tuesday that she is in favor of the “no homework policy for Kindergarten to Grade 12” being pushed by the lawmakers in the Lower House.

“Mayroon tayong policy na dini-discourage natin ang homework, alam naman natin na minsan hindi naman ang bata ang gumagawa. Nawawalan kung minsan ng panahon ang bata at parents, mga friends na mag-bonding,” said Briones in an interview.



“Ang gusto natin, lahat ng pormal na pag-aaral, gagawin sa loob ng eskuwelahan. Pag-uwi nila, libre na sila. Free time nila to be with their parents, with their friends,” Briones added.

Briones said that homeworks are additional burden to the learners.

“Ngayon napakabigat ang curriculum, kung minsan nine subjects. Lalo na sa senior high school. Tapos may school activities pa sila,” Briones said.
