On July 30th, 20 14, the website of the Ministry of Education published the speech made by Yuan Guiren, Minister of Education, at the national symposium on school physical education. Among them,
The downward trend of students' physical health in China has been initially curbed, and some indicators have improved. But generally speaking, school physical education is still the weak link of the whole education work. In the new round of basic education curriculum reform, under the condition of reducing the total class hours, the physical education class will be increased from 3 to 4 classes per week in the third to sixth grades of primary school to 2 to 3 classes per week in senior high school. No school may occupy physical education class for any reason or excuse.
The Ministry of Education will also improve the evaluation of physical education examinations. Taking physical education class as a compulsory course in the national unified academic level examination, graduation and further education must reach the qualified level. Record the students' physical condition and sports specialty in the students' comprehensive quality evaluation file as an important reference for students' graduation and further study.
From the speech released by the Ministry of Education, we can see that in the new round of basic education curriculum reform, the weekly physical education class class hours in primary schools have increased from 3 to 4, and in senior high schools from 2 to 3.
