To improve the well-being of students, a lawmaker called for a permanent policy banning homework during weekends.

In a Monday privilege speech, Tutok to Win party-list Representative Sam Versoza said too much homework on supposed free days was not sharpening students' minds but was instead burdening them and even their parents.

“The Department of Education has a memorandum advising teachers to limit the number of homework to a reasonable number and refrain from giving assignments to be done on weekends so students can spend time with their families,” Versoza said. Versoza said that the plight of working students, as well as parents who did not finish schooling and those who are already tired from a day’s work to earn a living, should also be considered.

“As for working parents, instead of having time to rest, they would have to help their children with their homework. At times, they even answer the homework themselves,” Versoza added.
