Students in Singapore are among the world’s most hard- working at home, clocking the third-longest time spent on homework, a report released this month has found.
The country’s 15-year-olds said that they devoted 9.4 hours to homework a week, in the study by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
They came in behind students in Shanghai, who spend 13.8 hours a week on homework, and those in Russia, who take 9.7 hours.
