 Spotlight:New homework policies

【明報專訊】At least 15 primary schools in Hong Kong have adopted new homework policies this academic year. For example, limits have been set on the amount of homework students should do in a school day, students are allowed to do homework in particular sessions in school and a "no homework week" has been introduced.

Tseung Kwan O Methodist Primary School (將軍澳循道衛理小學) is among those that have made great changes. Its school hours are the same as they were last year, but lessons take place only in the morning. In the afternoon, students do their homework and take part in fun activities. For example, they may cycle, learn to assemble a computer, learn to edit videos or play remote-controlled cars. According to Mr Ngan, the school's principal, its students are more active and positive because, under the new arrangements, they are "focused in the morning and happy in the afternoon".
