@INTOnews General Secretary Sheila Nunan has done sterling work for teachers, the education system and for the wider trade union movement throughout her career. She will be a very hard act to follow. I intend to contest the election in the coming months. https://t.co/c109dwifvA
Homework debate with educational professionals around the world suggest that the amount of time spent on homework per week has little relevance to an education system’s performance. League tables show that those countries that spend less time on homework actually rank higher.
Finland spends 2.4 hours per week on homework and ranks fifth in the world’s best performing schools. Russian students do ten hours per week yet the country ranks 13th. UK students spend almost five hours on homework per week and ranked sixth in league. https://t.co/RIojdXHLJ2.
