Education Ministry Implements 15 Minute Breaks and Daily PE

On March 7, Minister Huai Jinpeng announced a significant initiative aimed at enhancing student well-being through the implementation of '15-minute breaks' and the establishment of '2 hours of physical education daily.' This new policy emphasizes the importance of mental and physical health for students across the country, acknowledging the traditional pressures faced within educational systems.

The introduction of these measures is expected to positively impact student engagement and focus during lessons while promoting a more active lifestyle. With increasing concerns about childhood obesity and mental health issues among students, the Ministry's decision reflects a growing recognition of the need for balanced educational practices that prioritize overall health alongside academic achievement.
