The background of the new regulations is the general concern and reflection on the implementation of "compressed life education" in primary and secondary schools in recent years. Many primary and middle school students get up too early in the morning, under too much pressure, and even have problems such as poor health and depression. To this end, the Ministry of Education decided to adjust the class hours in primary and secondary schools after in-depth investigation and extensive consultation. The main contents are as follows:

1, the primary school class time is adjusted to 8:00-8:30, and the afternoon school time remains unchanged;

2. The junior middle school class time is adjusted from 7:30 to 8:00, and the afternoon school time is adjusted from 16:30 to17: 00;

3. The high school class time is adjusted from 7:20 to 8:00, and the afternoon school time is adjusted from 17: 10 to18: 00;

4. The adjusted class time can be flexibly adjusted according to the specific regional and school conditions, but the overall time is no more than 7 hours per day.

Challenges and problems of new regulations

First of all, the implementation of the new regulations takes some time and supporting measures, but there are still some uncertainties about how to ensure its full implementation and enforcement.

Secondly, the flexibility and applicability of the new regulations need to be further explored and improved. How to ensure that the adjustment of class hours in various regions and schools meets their specific educational needs and actual conditions requires strengthening management and supervision.

Finally, the adjustment of the new regulations has also brought some influences and problems to teachers and parents, such as how to arrange parents' work and life, how to adjust teachers' work plans and responsibilities, and so on.
