Less Homework for School Children

We, the undersigned, call on the Minister for School Education, Early Childhood and Youth to reduce the school homework load on Australian infants, primary and high school students.

Reduced pressure to perform academically and increased time to play and be children will benefit our students and their families and reduce anxiety and stress related problems in youth.

Please provide more resources and incentives to Australian schools to deliver more of the curriculum with in school hours and support services to complete assessments, assignments and exams without undue psychological pressure on infants, children, youth and their families.
