Parents of students at various stages of pre-university education told Emirates Al-Youm that their children's teachers are assigned to carry out household projects. A teacher requires each student to implement at least one project a week, claiming that it enhances what the student has learned in the school. That students do not benefit from these projects, because it is performed either by a parent or library specialized in the completion of student projects, and ends up in the trash.

The Ministry of Education stressed the need to carry out all student activities within the school and classrooms, and not to transfer them to non-classroom activities, stressing that students are not required to implement any projects outside the school.

The student's third-grade student, Laila Sami, said that the projects requested by teachers at the school are considered duties for families in the home, rather than training the students on what they have learned in school, pointing out that her son, Until 3:00 PM, he will not have enough energy to complete a project commissioned by his mentor, forcing her to implement the project instead of her son.

She added that the prices of raw materials used in projects are increasing, as the single project cost between 30 to 40 dirhams, and therefore the student's guardian costs to implement five projects a week, between 150 to 200 dirhams.

The mother of three students in different classes, Nadia Abdel-Moneim, that she can not complete the projects required by schools from their children daily, as well as it does not fit the age of students, so you have to review a library specialized in the completion of these projects, to do this task instead of , So it does not benefit the student, but it is an additional financial burden borne by parents, requiring schools to implement the projects within them, and only the implementation of two projects working on the entire row without wasting material in the implementation of projects useless.

The student's father, Said Hussein, said that the student projects are only to drain the time and effort of the student's parents, and financially exhausted, and in the end, these projects put in the store until it ends up in the trash, so it is best for the student to implement these projects in the classroom under "The teacher can divide the students into groups, each implementing a joint project, and the teacher assigns each group to bring the raw materials required for its project, which reduces the financial burden on the families and benefits the student."

According to a source in the Ministry of Education, who preferred not to be named, the ministry stressed that no project accepted by the student outside the school, as well as not to count degrees on such projects, stressing that it burdens many families, which do not have the financial capacity to spend On the requests of teachers in this regard.
