Governor Ramesh Bais recently suggested doing away with early morning classes, and is now proposing to end homework to school kids. At an event in Lonavala, he said teachers should focus on teaching during school hours instead of giving homework.

He also recommended that schools organise more activities like field trips to forts and historical sites. Bais said, “In many countries, students don’t have homework anymore, and I think it’s time we do the same.”
