The committee has decided on the following policy guidelines to ensure the load of
homework is balanced –
The word ‘homework’ is to be preferable called as ‘self work’ or ‘practise work’.
The school follows a no homework policy for class I and II.
A homework time table is prepared and students are assigned practise work in only
the dedicated subjects.
Teachers have been advised to be creative while assigning homework to students of
class 3-5.

exploratory learning for self-work. This will help promote problem solving and
critical thinking among the students.
