Dedi Mulyadi Issues Rules For Prohibiting Teachers From Giving Homework To Students

West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi issued a regulation prohibiting school teachers from providing homework (PR) for their students.

"Today we issued a circular, it is a prohibition for teachers to provide homework to their compounds," said Dedi as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, June 4.

This is done, said Dedi, for the sake of effective learning, because so far the homework of students who have been brought to their homes has often been done by their parents.

Furthermore, Dedi assessed that this rule would make children comfortable while at home and provide time for them to be more productive through various activities.

"I want children at home to read books by relaxing, making music, exercising, helping their parents have stalls, owning shops, going to fields, to kebon. So that they become productive," he said.

Nevertheless, Dedi emphasized that there is a limit, namely the curfew rule where elementary to upper middle level students are not allowed to leave the house more than 21.00 WIB.

Then, there are rules regarding the beginning of school hours at 06.30 WIB until noon so they don't arrive home late in the afternoon, with Saturdays and Sundays off.

"This is a series of ways to grow children in West Java so they don't experience depression in the teaching and learning process and don't experience depression while at home," said Dedi.

When ANTARA confirmed to several parties in the West Java Provincial Government, the governor's circular about the ban on not providing homework for students and school students, did not yet exist.
