The Office of Basic Education Commission (Obec) has drawn up guidelines on how teachers can reduce home assignments. “When giving homework, teachers should also take into account the time and resources required,” he said. He said students in Prathom 1-3 levels should spend just 30 to 60 minutes on homework each day; those in Prathom 4-6 classes should spend 60 to 90 minutes a day, while Mathayom or secondary students should spend no more than two hours a day on homework. Boonrux believed the integrated homework approach should be easy to implement for teachers at small schools where there were just a few teachers in charge. “At bigger schools, teachers should try to work together in implementing the homework-reduction guidelines introduced by Obec,” he said.
