Hollande to abolish homework

Published: 9 Oct 2012 at 22.57
Online news:

French President Francois Hollande potentially won the hearts of thousands of future voters on Tuesday by announcing he wants to abolish homework.

Unveiling a new education programme, Hollande said school work should ``be done at school, rather than at home``, to foster educational equality because some students do not have support at home.

He also however advocated a return to the four-and-a-half-day school week from the current four-day week in place in most French schools.

We are all made from academic and non academic backgrounds. This would reduce the poor self esteem that the non academics have to endure. Great stuff from a thinking President.

"reducing the number of students forced to repeat grades" - Everyone passes, even the illiterates.
