IT’S OFFICIAL – IRISH kids have it tough.
Irish students have the second highest amount of homework to get through outside of class when compared to the rest of the world – according to a new study.
The data, compiled by the OECD on 15 year-old students, shows Irish school-goers do an average of 7.3 hours of homework per week – well ahead of every single other country in the study, apart from Italy.
The Italians are the only country ahead of Ireland on the list, with students there putting up with a massive 8.7 hours a week.
As the graph by Forbes shows, we are ahead of the US, France, Germany and nearly every other nation that was part of the worldwide study.
Quite the, eh, achievement for Ireland?
