报告显示 我国中小学生全球最累
Chinese primary and secondary school pupils spend longer at school and take more extra-curricular tutoring classes compared with their peers in other countries, a report said. In 2015, the average school time for primary pupils increased to 8.1 hours a day, from 6.7 hours in 2010, according to the report released by the 21st Century Education Research Institute. Besides, middle-school students spent 11 hours a day in school in 2015, compared with 7.7 hours five years ago, it said. In addition, Chinese students were overloaded with homework, which also placed pressure on their parents. About 80% of parents said they had to closely supervise their children while they completed their homework. Chinese students also spent more time on learning outside the official classroom setting. By the end of 2016, about 137 million students had taken part in extra-curricular tutoring classes, the report said. Chinese students spent 17 hours a week on learning after classes finished, much longer than the 7.8-hour average internationally. |
