Students from Taizhou Middle School,Jiangsu Province,experience farming during their labor(劳动)course.As we all know,the life skills like cooking and painting are important and should be taught as part of labor education.
On June3,2020,the Ministry of Education (MOE)(教育部) gave a document(文件) showing the revised curriculum(修改后的方案)for senior high schools across the country.Labor education includes housework,school labor and community voluntary(志愿的)services and so on.
" Labor education must be carried out(实施)with the purpose to make the right view(观点)of the world,life and values and develop an interest in doing chores," said Vice﹣Minister of Education Zheng Fuzhi.
According to China Youth Daily,the labor course will take six credits(学分)﹣﹣﹣ the same as foreign language and physics.Voluntary service,as part of labor education,would take two credits.The MOE also asks schools to make sure 40 hours of voluntary service during the full three school years.
According to Xinhua,adding labor education was out of care that the country's young people do too little housework and that they think labor jobs aren't important.Because of a lot of school pressure,schools pay more attention to the course of education,and parents may think that the chores waste their kids' time.
According to a survey,middle school students in China only spend 12 minutes a day on chores,compared with 72 minutes in the US,42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France.
However,doing housework does not distract(使分心)young people.Instead,they are necessary for developing a strong working spirit,according to Julie Lythcott﹣Haims,the writer of How to Raise an Adult. "The earlier you started,the better...",he said.
