Open Establish national guidelines on workload for students in schools

Created by Daniel Obe
Closes on

I would like the Government to introduce evidential based limits on homework and major assignments. This could prevent excessive workloads and require all schools to give reasonable amounts of work.

We feel that students are often overworked which results in the demotivation of attending school as a whole. It is evident that the attendance rate for schools across the UK in the last 15 years have decreased. This could enable students to have sufficient time for rest, family life, and personal development.
