Following complaints and signals from parents, the Ministry of Education is preparing changes to the grading regulations that would put a ceiling on homework assignments and reduce the burden of study and preparation efforts outside of class. 

Experts at the Institute for Market Economics say the reform is ill-considered and will lead to greater centralisation rather than increased autonomy for teachers and schools. They criticize the one-size-fits-all approach without taking individual needs into account.

 

The experts' advice is to give "teachers as much freedom as possible to structure the curriculum in their courses, to choose educational methods and technologies in the direction of deregulation, consultation and placing the role of the teacher as the leading authority in the process".
