Homework is probably one of the most daunting tasks of all time. While they are loved by every parents, most children and teenagers have second opinions and they vehemently dislike them. Not only do you spend hours doing them, but also crack your head and even possibly killing those few thousand precious brain cells of yours to find solutions for the questions given by teachers and lecturers. According to Susan Hallam from London University’s Institution of Education, “There is hard evidence that homework really does improve how well pupils achieve.”
Nonetheless, how much of homework does it really takes to improve education? In fact, more homework does not necessarily mean a better education. Ozicare Life Insurance has created a brilliant infographic that depicts the amount of homework children do across the globe. It shows that countries that offer some of the best education systems do not always give piles of homework to the students. For instances, students in South Korea whose education system ranked number one in the world on the 2014 Pearson review only spend 2.9 hours on homework weekly compared to Russian students who spend up to 9.7 hours weekly yet their education system ranked only number 13.
