Announcements were issued in many places, and the spring opening time of primary and secondary schools in 2024 was announced, and parents were full of sadness
Under the score-only admission system, many students are currently under tremendous academic pressure, leaving early and returning late every day, carrying heavy school bags. In recent years, society, schools, teachers, and parents have all called for reducing the academic burden of primary and secondary school students.
Under this strong voice, the relevant departments have taken a series of measures, including the education department has successively launched a double reduction policy and extended services, aiming to alleviate the pressure on children in an all-round way.
In addition, the Ministry of Education has issued a "sleep order", stipulating that classes should start no earlier than 8:20 for primary school students and no earlier than 8 for secondary school students. Students are no longer required to arrive early to participate in uniform educational activities, and students are also required to have enough lunch breaks.
The Ministry of Education has also issued the "Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Education on Strengthening the Management of Homework in Compulsory Education Schools", which puts forward ten requirements for the management of homework for primary and secondary school students, aiming at the problems of excessive homework, low quality, and functional alienation in some schools.
The implementation of this series of measures has indeed achieved remarkable results, but as long as China's examination-oriented education and score-only admission system remain unchanged, it may be difficult to fundamentally reduce students' learning pressure.
Notices have recently been issued about the spring start time of primary and secondary schools, and students can't wait to usher in the winter vacation. In order to better plan the next teaching content, the notices issued by various places not only mentioned the winter vacation time, but also announced the spring opening time of primary and secondary schools in 2024:
Xi'an, Shaanxi: The winter vacation for primary schools began on January 26, the winter vacation for middle schools began on February 2, and the spring semester began on February 24.
Ningbo, Zhejiang: All kinds of schools will end the semester on February 2 and open on February 26.
Nanjing, Jiangsu: Primary and secondary schools will have winter vacation on January 29, and students will register on February 18.
Yulin, Guangxi: Compulsory education schools will have winter vacation from January 27 to February 24, and primary and secondary schools will open on February 25.
Other provinces and cities have also issued similar notices.
However, these notices have bothered many parents, as many parents will be returning to work on February 18. Some parents have even called for the Spring Festival holiday to be extended to 15 days in order to better take care of their children and reduce the double burden of life and study.
Although the majority of netizens have been hoping that the Spring Festival holiday can be extended, under the current circumstances, this wish is difficult to achieve. Perhaps only when China becomes a developed country and work and vacation can be more balanced, can it be expected to alleviate the high-intensity and long-term work conditions.
Although these measures are designed to ease the burden on students, there are still parents who send their children outside to make up classes during the winter break in order to improve grades. However, this practice should be approached with caution as the goal of the double reduction policy is to reduce stress on students and parents.
During the holidays, children should be given enough time to rest and have more free time to engage in activities they enjoy. In the pursuit of short-term high scores, children should not be reduced to slaves to learning.
Finally, it is hoped that the relevant departments will strengthen the supervision of electronic online games, strictly supervise the illegal make-up classes in various places, and ensure that students can spend a healthy and happy holiday.
