Let's see if I understood you correctly, he's in second grade? Check with his teacher about his work load. At this age, his homework should take no more than 15-30 mins per night. (The rule is generally 10 mins per year of school.) Find out for sure how long the teacher expects the nightly work to take. Is there a homework log you must sign each night for him? What are the consequences at school of not completing the work? A common consequence at this age is loss of recess time to do the work.
You need to set up a routine and expectations reguarding homework. When he comes home from school, he may need a snack. After that, he needs to do his homework. Homework needs to be finished before he can play on the computer or play outside. If he wants to go anything fun, he needs to get the homework done first.
Make sure he has a place to study with all his materials organized. If he doesn't have a desk, maybe a box of supplies that he might needs (pencils, erasers, paper, crayons, color pencils, ruler, gluesticks, etc.) that can be taken to the kitchen table to work.
Make sure the teacher is assigning homework with real value and not busywork.
Consider getting a kitchen timer for him to use. Set it for 30 mins each night. If it's not done when the buzzer goes off, take it away and put it in his backpack. If he wakes up early, he can try again in the morning after he is dressed and fed.
Don't turn it into a power struggle. Provide the place and the materials. Remind him to do it. Remind him of the consequences of not doing it. Remind him why the teacher assigns homework. HE has to take on the responsibility of doing it. If it's not done in the allotted time, he faces the consequences at school with his teacher. After all, that is who he is responsible to for doing it.
Make sure he knows that you and the teacher are on the same side about this. If he's not got his homework done, call the teacher and leave a message. Let him hear you do it. Sometimes the teacher will even play the message for the child the next day! My son's teacher also shares the parent's email messages with the child.

Sec. 2.... I am guessing is the equivilent to secondary school in the U.S.
First you need to change your priorities and with that change his priorities. Put his classes, up towards number one on your priorities. When he arrives home from school, he goes to work studying. When he is done, you test him on what he has studied. This may require you to actually study with him, or it may require you to read the material after he has and then test him on it. Once he has passed to your satisfaction THEN he can play outdoor activities and computer games.... but not before. In the U.S. schools do not allow children who fail to participate in extra curricular activities, if this is different there, then I suggest pulling him out of all organized sports until his grades come up to where you feel comfortable with them.
Send the message to him that his grades are the most important thing in his life, that he cannot have his pleasures until the work is done.... to YOUR satisfaction.
Also get his eyes checked. All those computer games may have had a negative impact.... or not.... but if he gets sleepy reading books it could be a problem.
