Proposing a discourse on the elimination of homework in schools, suggested by Vyacheslav Volodin.
Reducing Student Workload: Volodin Calls for Action
Vyacheslav Volodin, the State Duma speaker, has raised concerns about the excessive workload faced by students in Russian schools. In a recent statement, Volodin cited the example of some countries where homework has a research and creative character, promoting deeper study and critical thinking skills in children.
However, Volodin also noted that most deputies believe students are spending 8-10 hours a day on schoolwork, a situation that he considers a cause for concern. The issue of excessive load on children in schools has been raised before, but specific proposals have not yet been made, according to Volodin.
In September, Volodin and the State Duma plan to return to the issue of excessive load on students, but the exact proposals to address this issue remain unclear. While Volodin has been involved in various political issues and proposals, none of the cited sources specify his or the State Duma’s initiatives focused on alleviating excessive academic burdens on students.
Volodin also highlighted the potential of new technologies, stating that they provide more opportunities for formal completion of homework, which often turns into a waste of time. With these technologies, students could potentially focus on more meaningful and engaging learning experiences.
As the academic year progresses, we will keep a close eye on any developments regarding the issue of excessive workload in Russian schools. Stay tuned for updates on specific proposals and initiatives from the State Duma.
