According to the infographic below, created by Ozicare Insurance, the countries that offer the best education systems around the world don't always dole out piles of homework to students.
Students in Italy - whose education system ranked relatively low on the 2014 Pearson review - complete about 8.1 hours of homework per week, while students in South Korea - whose education system ranked number one in the world on the 2014 Pearson review- only spend 2.9 hours on homework weekly.
