Teaching should be such that there is no need to assign homework, says Maharashtra minister- Education News

Teaching at schools should be of such quality that there would be no need to assign homework to children, said the Maharashtra School Education Minister Deepak Kesarkar on Friday.

He said, “My personal opinion is that children should not be over-burdened and their brains should be allowed to develop. Homework should not be an excuse for teachers. Whatever we teach for half-an-hour, it should be taught with full concentration so that there is no need of doing homework. I will talk to teachers associations and institutions and then take a decision”. Last month Kesarkar had said that the education department was thinking of adding blank pages to text books for taking down notes, so that children do not need to carry separate notebooks which make their school bags heavy.
