Homework has been a long-standing tradition in the education system, with the belief that it

reinforces learning and helps students develop important skills such as time management and
responsibility. However, in recent years, Finland has gained attention for their no homework policy in
primary and secondary schools. This policy has sparked debates and discussions on the effectiveness
of homework and its impact on students' well-being.

In Finland, students are not assigned any homework until they reach high school. Even then, the
amount of homework given is significantly less compared to other countries. This approach is based
on the belief that children need time to play, relax, and spend time with their families after school.
The Finnish education system prioritizes the well-being of students and recognizes the importance of
a healthy work-life balance.

The decision to implement a no homework policy was not made lightly. It was based on research that
showed no correlation between homework and academic success in primary and secondary school
students. In fact, studies have shown that excessive homework can have a negative impact on
students' mental health and overall well-being. It can lead to stress, anxiety, and sleep deprivation,
which can ultimately affect their academic performance.

Furthermore, the no homework policy in Finland has also been linked to the country's high academic
achievement. Finland consistently ranks among the top countries in international assessments such as
the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This has led to other countries,
including the United States, to re-evaluate their approach to homework and consider implementing a
similar policy.
