Rejected petition: Reduce the amount of homework set in schools
Rejected on
We ask the Government to issue guidance to schools to reduce the amount of homework set for pupils.
Too much homework increases stress, affects mental health, and limits time for family, rest and extracurricular activities. Reducing homework would improve wellbeing and allow students to enjoy learning more.

This is not something that the UK Government or Parliament is directly responsible for. It is up to each individual school to set the homework for its students.
