Statement on the no-homework policy bills

PASIG CITY, August 28, 2019 – With its issuance of the “Guidelines on Giving Homework or Assignment to All Public Elementary School Pupils,” otherwise known as DepEd Memorandum No. 392, series 2010, the Department of Education (DepEd) reiterates its commitment to the holistic development of learners inside and outside the classroom.

The said issuance aims to enable learners to have more quality time with their parents, family, and friends by limiting the homework/assignment to a reasonable quantity on school days and by eliminating the same during weekends.

It is in this regard that the Department supports the no-homework policy proposed by legislators from the House of Representatives. By ensuring that they complete all assignments and projects in school, the no-homework policy enables our learners to find balance between their academic development and personal growth by having ample time for enjoyable activities with family.

The Department will further study the other provisions of the bills to determine the repercussions on the current teaching and learning process.

'No Homework Policy,' nakabubuti nga ba?

BAWAL ANG PASAWAY KAY MARENG WINNIE No homework policy September 24, 2019

“There’s a deeper problem na itong mga mambabatas should look at. They have to look at the quality of education.” Ito ang isa sa mga naging pahayag sa diskusyon ni Mareng Winnie kasama sina DEPED Bureau of Learning Delivery Director Leila Areola, Alliance of Concerned Teachers Chairperson Joselyn Martinez at Central Visayan Institute Foundation graduate Mary Pearl Sajulga kaugnay ng inihaing dalawang panukalang batas na nagsusulong ng ‘No homework policy’ para sa mga estudyante mula kindergarten hanggang grade 12.

Layon ng inihaing dalawang panukalang batas na maging daan para sa holistic development ng kabataan ang hindi pagbibigay ng takdang aralin mula Lunes hanggang Biyernes pati na Sabado’t Linggo. Bagaman suportado ito ng DEPED, pabor sila sa pagbibigay lang ng purposive o makatwiran at makabuluhang homework. Lalo na’t may ilang magulang na hindi sang-ayon sa pagsasabatas ng naturang polisiya. Sa karanasan ng isang nanay na nakapanayam ng Bawal ang Pasaway team, natuturuan daw maging disiplinado ang mga bata kung nabibigyan ng assignment.

Naibahagi naman ng Central Visayan Institute Foundation graduate na si Mary Pearl Sajulga ang pagkakaiba ng pagpapatupad ng dynamic learning program sa pangkaraniwang sistema ng edukasyon sa bansa. Sa ganitong programa raw, walang ibinibigay na homework at sa eskwelahan na ginagawa lahat ng mga aralin. Para kay Mary Pearl, mas nabigyan daw sila ng pagkakataong mas mahasa ang ibang kasanayan at makatulong pa sa mga magulang sa bahay.

Napag-usapan din ang estado ng edukasyon sa Pilipinas at naikumpara pa sa mga bansang nagpapatupad na ng ‘No homework policy’. Kasama ang Thailand, India at Indonesia sa mga bansang nagpapatupad ng naturang polisiya. Pero malayo raw ang kalidad ng edukasyon ng developing o emerging countries na ito kung ikukumpara sa Singapore na nangunguna sa pagkakaroon ng pinakamaayos na educational system sa buong mundo ayon sa Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Ito’y kahit nagbibigay pa ng takdang aralin ang mga eskwelahan sa Singapore.

Magiging epektibo nga kaya sa kasalukuyang estado ng edukasyon sa Pilipinas ang pagpapatupad ng ‘No homework policy’? Panoorin ang kabuuan ng diskusyon sa Bawal ang Pasaway kay Mareng Winnie ngayong September 24, 7:15 pm sa GMA News TV.  

Batas na nagbabawal sa pagbibigay ng homework sa mga estudyante isinusulong sa kongreso. Mga libro dapat din daw iwan na sa eskwelahan para hindi mahirapan ang mga estudyante sa pagdadala.

No homework bill ang bagong batas na pinag-uusapan ngayon sa kongreso. Sa ilalim ng isinusulong na batas ay ipinagbabawal na ang pagbibigay ng homework o assignment sa mga estudyante mula kinder hanggang grade 12. Ang naturang batas ay may dalawang version na isinusulong ng dalawang miyembro ng kongreso na sina Deputy Speaker Evelina Escudero at Quezon City Representative Alfred Vargas.

No homework bill isinusulong sa kongreso

Ang unang version ng “No Homework Bill” ay isinusulong ni Deputy Speaker Evelina Escudero ng Sorsogon na tinatawag ring House Bill No. 3611.

Ayon sa kaniya ay dapat ng tanggalin ang homework bilang school requirement. Dapat din daw limitahan ang mga school activities upang mas magkaroon ang mga estudyante ng oras na magpahinga at quality time kasama ang pamilya.

“Homework assignments can deprive students and parents precious quality time for rest, relaxation and interaction after school hours and even on weekends.”

Ito ang pahayag ng kongresista sa explanatory note ng kaniyang panukalang batas.

Maliban sa no homework bill, ipinapanukala din ni Rep. Escudero ang pagdedeposit at pag-iiwan ng libro sa school ng mga kindergarten hanggang Grade 6 students. Ito ay para makaiwas sila sa mga adverse effects tulad ng fatigue at spinal diseases na dulot ng pagdadala ng mabibigat na bag dahil sa mga libro.

Paliwanag niya, ito ay may malaking kaugnayan sa no homework bill. Dahil dinadala lang daw ng mga estudyante ang mga libro pauwi dahil sa mga homework na ipinapagawa sa kanila.

“Schoolchildren carry heavy bags as they feel compelled to bring home all their books and activity kits because of the daily homework given by their respective subject teachers. The giving of homework assignments to conclude a lesson is a hallmark of Philippine pedagogy which also needs to be seriously assessed.”

Ito ang dagdag na pahayag ng kongresista sa explanatory note ng kaniyang panukalang batas.

At para maisagawa ito dapat din daw magkaroon ng locker o dedicated space ang kada estudyante na ligtas na mapag-iiwanan ng kanilang mga libro sa eskwelahan.

Isa pang version ng no homework bill

Samantala, sa version ng no homework bill na ipinapanukala ni Quezon City Representative Alfred Vargas o House Bill 3883 ay pinipigilan na ang mga guro na magbigay ng homework tuwing weekends.

Paliwanag ng kongresista ang homework daw ay nagdudulot ng burden sa estudyante at kaniyang magulang. Nagiging dahilan rin daw ito ng hindi pagkakaroon ng sapat na family time at less interest sa pag-aaral. Ito daw ay base sa isang pag-aaral na isinagawa sa South Africa noong 2018.

Sa version ng batas na ito ni Vargas ay maaring magmulta ng P50,000.00 o pagkakakulong ng isa hanggang dalawang taon ang sinumang guro na lumabag sa no-homework condition ng panukalang batas.

Layunin umano ng batas na ito na magpromote ng physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual at social well-being sa mga Pilipinong mag-aaral.

To the 29 000+ Filipino readers/viewers over the past 3 months, Maraming Salamat po!

INTRODUCTION

Homework or homework assignment has been an inevitable part of a pupils’ academic journey. An academic task that includes a period of reading, writing that has to be completed, textbook exercises to answer, Mathematics problems to be solved, some information to review for the previous or next lesson, and some activities to practice skills.

The primary purpose of giving a homework is to reinforce and increase pupils’ knowledge and improve their learning abilities. This will encourage pupils to engage in active learning. This also promotes a pupil-parent communication and collaboration between pupils.

 But many schools are rethinking homework, some have cut down on the amount they give each week, and others no longer allow weekend assignments. Some have eliminated homework entirely.

THE PHILIPPINES’ Suspension of Homework

In September 2010, a memorandum from the Department of education was circulated (and passed on to all the bureau directors, regional directors, school division/city superintendents and Heads of Public elementary school). The   Deped Memorandum No.392 S.2010 highlights the suspension of homework during the weekend. This is to address the concern of parents regarding the amount of time the pupils consume in accomplishing their homework, instead of having an enjoyable and quality time with their family. This memorandum also intends to ease the pupils’ burden about the thought of doing plenty of homework.

In August 2019, the 118 th Congress – Senate Bill No. 966 (authored by Senator Grace Poe) or the proposed “No Homework Law” has been filed. This is a senate bill banning teachers from giving homework to students from kinder to Grade 12 on weekends.

The bill stated that all primary and secondary schools in the country shall not allow teachers to give any network or assignments to students. Under the proposed measure, teachers may only assign homework to students on weekends provided that it be minimal and will not require more than four hours to be completed.  The policy will be applied on both public and private schools.

“Further, it looked at homework hours around the world and found that there wasn’t much of a connection between how much homework students of a particular country do and how well their students score on tests” , the bill read.

Citing a 2014 study from the OECD based on PISA data, the senator noted that additional time spent on homework has a negligible impact on the performance of students after around four hours of homework in a week.  In OECD countries, for example, advantaged students spend 5.7 hours per week doing homework, on average, while disadvantaged students spend an average of 4.1 hours per week.

No homework policy

The Department of Education (DepEd) expressed its support on this filed bill of “No homework policy” saying that it would help learners find balance between personal and academic growth. Since they had been advocating for an all-inclusive learning regime for Filipino students, to include out of the classroom schooling, a policy that will, in effect, restrict teachers from giving homework to students from kindergarten to Grade 12. In hopes that the concept will enable Filipino learners “to find balance between their academic development and personal growth by having ample time for enjoyable activities with family.”

Up to this date, the proposed bill is not yet approved. Apparently, there is need to be circumspect and judicious. The DepEd memorandum of 2010 is still the ruling guideline on giving homework to pupils.

Summary of pros and cons of homework

Let’s look into the summary of homework’s pros and cons:

Félicitations à Joreen d’évoquer un problème en émergence dans les pays africains. Au Cameroun où je passe la majorité de mes observations, le problème de” saturation des activités intellectuelle” gagne du terrain, encouragé par cette frénésie de faire avancer les enfants sans respecter le rythme bio-physiologique des enfants. Tenez par exemple, les congés c’est à partir du 10 juin au primaire. Immédiatement, les “saturalistes” ont déjà programmé des cours de rattrapage pour le mois de juillet. Quand est-ce que le cerveau de ces enfants va se reposer? Commençons à mener des réflexions dans ce sens. Châpeau Joreen/

Thanks! Actually I’ve been looking if it has been approved or not yet, then I saw you blog. I know the Finnish almost 100% do not give homework. As a math teacher, in my class, I started not giving them homework (years before the pandemic) even though the bill has not been passed yet.

Sanaysay Tungkol Sa No Homework Policy

Isinusulong sa Kongreso at Senado ngayon ang pag-aalis ng takdang aralin mula kindergarten hanggang haiskul. Ang mga kongresista ay nais na wala nang takdang aralin araw-araw habang sa ang bersiyon naman ng isang senador ay tuwing Sabado at Linggo lamang ipagbabawal ang assignment.

Dahil dito, naging usap-usapan ng marami kung dapat nga bang walang takdang aralin. Ayon sa mga nagsusulong nito, dapat daw ay ibigay ang oras na wala sa eskwela upang makapagpahinga ang mga bata.

Lubha na raw nakakapagod ang panahong inilalaan sa paaralan at kailangan din ng mga mag-aaral na magkaroong muli ng sapat na enerhiya para sa panibagong araw sa paaralan.

Naisasakripisyo daw ng mga mag-aaral ang kanilang kalusugan dahil sa dami ng ginagawa sa paaralan. Nawawalan na rin umano ng oras ang mga ito para sa kanilang pamilya.

Sang-ayon naman mismo ang Department of Education (DepEd) sa ganitong panukala. Maging sila ay nakikita ang positibong epekto nito sa parehong mga mag-aaral at mga guro. Pahinga rin ang mga guro dahil mababawasan ang kanilang gawain ayon sa DepEd.

Nangangamba lamang ang iba na baka raw ay mawalan na nang maayos na study habit ang mga bata. Wala na raw rason para magbuklat ang mga bata ng aklat at kwaderno kung wala nang takdang aralin.

Payo naman ng mga eksperto, kailangan lamang na ituro sa mga bata ang kanilang responsibilidad at kahalagahan ng pag-aaral kahit wala nang ibinibigay na takda ang mga guro.

No-Homework Policy: Why Some Educators Say It Benefits Kids

Two bills that propose a no-homework policy for students in kindergarten to senior high school have been submitted in the House of Representatives (HOR). House Bill No. 3883 seeks to prohibit teachers in elementary and high schools to give assignments on weekends, while House Bill No. 3611 proposes a total ban on homework for all students in kindergarten up to senior high school.

The Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Leonor Briones agreed that kids should be able to spend time with their parents and rest. She also acknowledged that often, it’s the parents, tutor, or yaya who does the child’s homework. The agency has since released new guidelines on giving homework to students.

Both parents and teachers had mixed reactions about the proposal to ban all assignments to be done at home or in their own time. Too much homework is a real concern, and yet there are also essential life skills kids can learn by doing homework. Homework itself is not harmful; it depends on the quality and quantity of tasks assigned to children.

If the “No Homework Policy” is passed into law, the Philippines wouldn’t be the first country to do so. Students in Finland, Denmark, and Sweden already spend zero to just a few hours every week on homework, along with other education policies . Many teachers had also sent their students “ unconventional homework ” (e.g., spend time with parents or try a new activity).

Most parents and kids from these schools and classes loved it — and for valid reasons: The more holistic approach to learning has been proven to produce academic achievers, as well as healthier students who are more confident and more secure. These schools and teachers show that kids can benefit from having little to no homework. Some of the advantages include:

Young kids have more time to play and read.

Preschoolers and early elementary students have yet to develop study skills , so giving homework in the form of exercises might not be a good use of their time. It’s been proven time and time again that young kids learn better through play. They understand and remember better when they’re playing and having fun. If young learners should be given assignments, a 2013 study suggests it should be reading with their parents.

Children have more room to create and explore on their own.

A teacher discovered that when she didn’t give her second-grade students mandatory homework, they started doing more independent learning at home. “This inspiring group of 8-year-olds used their newfound free time to explore subjects and topics of interest to them,” Jaqueline Fiorentino writes in Edutopia . She also encouraged reading and “optional” work to help children review lessons. Giving kids more room to explore and be creative help develop a lifelong learning attitude.

Kids learn about responsibility, plus other social and practical life skills.

In a U.K. school, elementary kids choose between two optional homework schemes , depending on their interests and targets. Both programs aim to help kids take greater responsibility for what and how they learn. An analysis of the school’s homework schemes showed that it helps develop independence, ensure that skills taught in school are followed-up at home, and promote kindness since some tasks involve family, the community, and charity.

Time with family and friends is the foundation for developing a child’s social skills. Spending time and having fun with the people you love makes for good memories which can serve as kids’ happiness anchors and contribute to good mental health . It can also give children opportunities to learn practical skills such as cooking and washing dishes, among others.

Children have more time for rest and sleep.

If parents get exhausted when they’re overworked, kids can also experience burnout. Studies have shown than when kids are tired, they can’t focus and perform tasks. “Your brain has to relax every now and then. If you just constantly work, then you stop learning. And there’s no use in doing that for a longer period of time,” says Finnish school principal Leena Liusvaara .

All the above things considered, homework also has its benefits — and by homework, we don't mean only pen-and-paper tasks. When students are given a reasonable number of appropriate tasks, provided that they actually work on them themselves, they develop good study habits such as organizational skills and time management. The key is always balance.

DepEd: No-homework plan to help students attain school-life balance

DepED Secretary Leonor Briones. INQUIRER FILE PHOTO / GRIG C. MONTEGRANDE

MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Education (DepEd) has expressed support to the proposed no-homework policy from kindergarten to high school, stressing it would help students achieve a school-life balance.

DepEd in a statement Wednesday cited Memorandum No. 392 issued in 2010, which advised teachers to limit assignments to a “reasonable quantity” and eliminating it during the weekends. 

“The said issuance aims to enable learners to have more quality time with their parents, family, and friends by limiting the homework/assignment to a reasonable quantity on school days and by eliminating the same during weekends,” Deped said.

“By ensuring that they complete all assignments and projects in school, the no-homework policy enables our learners to find a balance between their academic development and personal growth by having ample time for enjoyable activities with family,” it added.

DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones earlier expressed its support to the proposed legislation, stressing that formal education should be done inside schools. 

“Ang gusto natin, lahat ng pormal na pag-aaral, assignments, projects, whatever, gawin sa loob ng eskwelahan. Pag-uwi nila, libre na sila, free time na nila to be with their parents, with their friends,” Briones said in a recent radio interview. 

Separate bills calling for a no-homework policy were filed at the House of Representatives by Deputy Speaker Evelina Escudero and Quezon City Rep. Alfred Vargas.

Escudero’s bill seeks to eliminate homework and limit school activities within the campus while Vargas’ measure wants to stop teachers from assigning homework during weekends. /kga

No homework for Filipino students: Doesn’t it sound good?

Asia philippines.

Philippines education department backs legislation focused on holistic development

Manila: Efforts in the legislature to do away with assigning homework to students in basic education drew the support from an unlikely quarter — the Department of Education (DepEd).

“The Department of Education supports the no-homework policy proposed by legislators from the House of Representatives,” the DepEd said in a statement.

It said that since 2010 it had been advocating for an all-inclusive learning regime for Filipino students, to include out of the classroom schooling, a policy that will, in effect, restrict teachers from giving homework to students from Kindergarten to Grade 12.

“With its issuance of the ‘Guidelines on Giving Homework or Assignment to All Public Elementary School Pupils’, the DepEd reiterates its commitment to the holistic development of learners inside and outside the classroom.

According to Education Secretary Leonor Briones, the aim of the issuance was for “learners to have more quality time with their parents, family, and friends by limiting the homework/assignment to a reasonable quantity on school days and by eliminating the same during weekends”.

But while the education department embraces the “no homework” concept in basic education, a lack of an enabling law stood in the way of its implementation in the classrooms.

House Deputy Speaker Evelina Escudero has submitted to the House of Representatives the Bill to make the “no homework” rule in classrooms, a reality.

“The objective will always be to improve and develop our educational system and be able to mould our students and pupils as productive members of our society equipped with the right and appropriate education,” she said.

“It is a bill that is grounded on studies and experiences as an educator myself for 25 years,” the lawmaker from Sorsogon said.

The DepEd said that in supporting the no-homework policy being pushed in the House of Representatives, it hopes that the concept will enable Filipino earners “to find balance between their academic development and personal growth by having ample time for enjoyable activities with family.”

It had been observed that obsession by parents and students for academic excellence had somehow affect the social well-being of pupils.

DepEd supports proposed no-homework policy

MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Education (DepEd) has expressed its support for the no-homework policy bills proposed by lawmakers at the House of Representatives.  

DepEd, in a statement released on Wednesday, August 28, said the measures would “enable learners to have more quality time with their parents, family, and friends by limiting the homework [and] assignment to a reasonable quantity on school days and by eliminating the same during weekends.”  

It said the policy would allow students to “find balance between their academic development and personal growth by having ample time for enjoyable activities with family.”

House Deputy Speaker Evelina Escudero and Quezon City Representative Alfred Vargas filed separate bills  in August.  

Escudero filed House Bill (HB) No. 3611 , which seeks to remove homework as a requirement and have Kinder to Grade 12 students do academic activities solely within school premises.

“Homework assignments can deprive students and parents [of] precious quality time for rest, relaxation, and interaction after schools hours and even on weekend,” the bill’s explanatory note reads.

The bill also seeks to prohibit students from taking textbooks home in order to “lighten the physical burden of schoolchildren,” who, Escudero said, often have to carry heavy bags due to schoolwork that has to be done beyond the school. This will apply to Kinder to Grade 6 students.  

Vargas filed HB No. 3883 , which seeks to eliminate homework on weekends for all elementary and high school students.  

This is so that students can “enjoy their free time from the precisions of school during weekends and to be able to have a quality time with their family and friends.”    

Vargas, in his proposal, also cited a 2018 study that featured discussions on a similar policy in a public school in Western Cape province in South Africa. Vargas said scholars in South Africa had argued “that homework is a burden for children and parents,” has caused the decline of family time, and even undermines learning interest.  

HB 3883 seeks to “promote and protect the physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual, and social well-being of the youth.”

While DepEd welcomed the proposals, teachers groups have slammed the proposed measures.  

The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) in a statement told Congress to instead focus on reviewing the K to 12 curriculum.

“We are not issuing homework to burden our students. It is demanded of us by the K to 12 program, so much [so] that our performance evaluation system ensures its implementation,” said ACT national chairperson Joselyn Martinez.  

Teacher’s Dignity Coalition said: “Our teachers are trained educators. We know the value of homework. It’s about discipline, responsibility, and continuity of learning.” – Rappler.com

Talumpati Tungkol Sa No Homework Policy

Kakaunting pahinga.

by: Talumpati.info

A ng usapin ng hindi pagbibigay ng homework o takdang aralin ay napakahalagang talakayan hindi lamang sa mga mag-aaral bagkus ay sa mga magulang na rin.

Kadalasan, ang mga takdang aralin na ibinibigay ng mga guro ngayon ay hindi lamang mga simpling gawaing pampaaralan.

Mayroong mga homework na kinakailangan ang tulong at gabay ng mga magulang lalo na sa antas ng elementarya.

Para sa akin, ang walong oras na ginugol ng isang bata sa loob ng paaralan ay sapat na para malinang ang kanyang kaalaman at kaisipan sa kaniyang asignatura. Hindi kabawasan sa katalinuhan ng isang mag-aaral ang hindi pagkakaroon ng homework.

Ang hindi pagkakaroon ng takdang aralin ay magandang pambalanse sa buhay ng isang bata. Nagkakaroon ito ng sapat na panahon upang makapagpahinga ang kanyang utak sa mga gawaing pampaaralan. Sa ganitong paraan ay magiging kondisyon ang kanyang utak at hindi siya papasok ng puyat.

Ang gawaing pampaaralan ay iwan natin sa paaralan. Ibigay natin ang kalayaan sa pamamagitan ng “No Homework Policy” sa mga bata.

Alalahanin natin na minsan, tayong lahat ay naging bata rin. Alam nating lahat na mga nakakatanda ang hirap na kailangangang daanan upang makakuha ng magandang marka.
