In August, 20 17, Guizhou Provincial Department of Education issued the Opinions on Resolutely Standardizing School-running Behavior in Primary and Secondary Schools, Effectively Reducing Students' Overweight Burden, and Comprehensively Improving the Quality of Education and Teaching, which required that from the fall semester of 20 17, the concentrated study time in school should not exceed 6 hours for primary school students and 7 hours for junior high school students.
According to the inspection and the masses, there are still some problems in some areas and schools, such as inadequate understanding, inadequate implementation, inadequate policy propaganda, and poor supervision and inspection. A few schools unilaterally understand that the school arrival time is the school start time, which leads to the gathering and detention of students at the school gate, which has potential safety hazards.
Individual schools still require students to arrive at school in advance or in disguise, and the concentrated study time at school is too long, which infringes on the normal rest rights of teachers and students and causes parents to report many times.
The Provincial Department of Education requires that the education administrative departments of cities and counties should conduct a comprehensive investigation on the implementation of work and rest management in compulsory education schools under their jurisdiction, especially for students who report from the masses and find out at work that they have arrived at school too early, studied too long at school and have a heavy academic burden. We must urge schools to reform and take follow-up actions.
