In 2010, the Department of Education (DepEd) released a policy that restricts teachers to give their students homework on weekends to all public schools across the country.
Recently, a suggestion from parents came up that private schools be included in the "no weekend homework policy" by DepEd.

The DepEd memorandum no. 392 section 4 reads:
4. Therefore, no homework/assignment shall be given during weekends for pupils to enjoy their childhood, and spend quality time with their parents without being burdened by the thought of doing lots of homework.

DepEd said that the limited assignment policy brings a positive result to the students. DepEd Usec. Anne Sevilla said that education has to be holistic because the children also need time for self-care as a part of their personal development.
However, a group of private schools disagrees with it saying that it is more important that children have assignments during weekends.
