For all students, homework is an important part of learning at NUAST.

NUAST believes that homework is important in:

• Reinforcing, broadening and extending the school curriculum
• enabling students to understand that independent learning is vital to achieving success and highly desired by employers and further education
• instilling the importance of life-long learning
• encouraging organisational skills and self-discipline.

Homework is set for a variety of reasons, which are:

• to encourage and develop self-discipline, planning and time management skills
• to encourage and develop independent study habits
• to give students a sense of responsibility for, and a commitment to their learning
• to allow reinforcing, extending and consolidating of work done in lessons
• to involve parents/carers as partners in education
• to develop revision skills and efficient preparation for assessments.
