Homework has been a part of education for as long as we can remember.

It has been a way for


students to reinforce what they have learned in class and to develop their skills and understanding.
However, the amount and difficulty of homework can vary greatly from country to country.

Challenges of Homework
Writing homework can be a daunting task for students, no matter where they are in the world. It
requires time, effort, and a good understanding of the subject matter. However, in some countries,
students face even greater challenges when it comes to completing their homework.

In countries like Japan and South Korea, students are known for their long hours of studying and
completing homework. It is not uncommon for students to spend up to 16 hours a day on school-
related activities. This intense workload can lead to high levels of stress and burnout.

In contrast, in countries like Finland and Denmark, homework is not emphasized as much. These
countries have shorter school days and less homework, allowing students to have more time for
extracurricular activities and leisure. This approach has been found to have a positive impact on
students' mental health and overall well-being.
