STATEMENT OF SENATOR WIN GATCHALIAN ON THE PROPOSED NO-HOMEWORK POLICY

I believe that our teachers are more than capable to discern what and how much homework to assign to their students to encourage good study habits and foster intellectual development. Having said that, we will, of course, study the proposal carefully. What is important is an efficient pedagogy that will lead to better learner outcomes.

In the meantime, our priority is to ensure that the K-12 curriculum is up-to-date, responsive to the demands of the current job market, and calibrated to address job mismatch and underemployment.
