The principle of summer vacation duties has been largely abandoned in Egyptian schools, raising concerns among parents about their children's educational retention during the long break.
Mothers express that the absence of summer homework increases the burden on them, as they try to balance their children's educational needs with recreational activities.
Some parents advocate for a non-compulsory summer homework system that would allow children to engage with educational material in a fun and relaxed manner, while others believe summer should be a time for creative and physical development.
Experts suggest that while summer homework can be beneficial, it should not be mandatory, and schools should focus on providing parents with tools to encourage learning in a playful context.
