China Mandates 2 Hours of Daily Physical Activity for Primary and Middle School Students
China is implementing a new regulation to ensure that primary and middle school students engage in at least two hours of physical activity each day. According to Deputy Minister of Education Wang Jiayi, students will have one sports class each day, followed by one hour of physical exercise after school.
This initiative aims to address common issues such as eye strain and obesity among students, while also ensuring they get sufficient exposure to sunlight.
In addition, mandatory education in Beijing has extended class breaks from 10 to 15 minutes starting this fall semester. Municipal education officials stated that this decision is intended to provide both teachers and students with enough time to rest, while also encouraging students to spend more time outdoors, promoting their physical and mental well-being.
