In 2025, China introduced a nationwide policy to give high school students two full days off every weekend to reduce the heavy study pressure. Before the policy, many students in provinces like Hebei only had one day or even half a day to rest each week.
According to the new rules, teachers cannot give extra(额外的) homework during weekends, but schools must keep libraries and sports fields open for students who wish to study or exercise voluntarily. Most students welcome the policy. "I finally have time to play basketball and read novels," said Li Ming. Studies also show that students who get enough rest perform better in exams. For example, a high school in Zhejiang reported an improvement in average test scores after carrying out the policy.
However, some parents still worry. "Weekends used to be important for reviewing lessons. I'm afraid my child will fall behind," said a parent. Rural(农村的) areas face bigger challenges. In villages where educational resources are limited, students have fewer chances to take part in after-school activities. To solve this problem, the government has created free online learning platforms and encouraged urban(城市的) schools to share resources with rural ones.
Many teachers believe this policy marks a turning point in China's education. It brings both benefits(好处) and challenges to students.
