As early as two years ago, the workload of primary and secondary schools was clearly stipulated in the "Order to Reduce the Burden" issued by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education. Gao Qiao Town Central Primary School actively implements this new regulation, requiring students in Grade One and Grade Two to have no written homework every day and students in Grade Three and Grade Six to have no written homework every Wednesday.
The reporter learned that in the future, similar "Happy Wednesday" will appear in more primary and secondary schools in Yinzhou District. With the coming of the new semester, the Education Bureau of Yinzhou District issued the Notice on Further Strengthening the Management of Homework in Primary and Secondary Schools and Implementing Graded Homework, which clearly stipulated the total amount of homework, arrangement and homework correction in primary and secondary schools, so as to reduce the heavy schoolwork burden of middle school students.
The total amount of writing work should be controlled.
There is no written homework in grades one and two.
