Thread: Survey shows most primary and secondary students want less homeworks and reports

Most primary and secondary students say they are happier now that they spend less time in classrooms under the Education Ministry’s policy to cut the classroom hours to 2 pm.

A survey conducted by the faculty of education of Chulalongkorn University during September 17-29 which based on interviews with 2,000 primary and secondary students from across the country shows that 70 percent of them agreed with the policy because it made them feel happy to learn.

65.53 percent of the respondents said they prefer to engage in activities of their choices after classes at 2 pm; 61.30 percent said they do their homework and 60.23 percent said they prefer to learn about skill development.

Both the primary and secondary students said they want less homeworks and reports whereas secondary students also want unnecessary content to be removed.

Professor Sompong Chitradab, director of research and child development centre, said that the Education Ministry should do away with the central course for 2008 and introduce a new course which should not exceed five clusters and the learning timeframe should be between 600-800 hours.

Let's not confuse the desired outcome by introducing a load of irrelevant facts. Are you Thai?
