Physical education class shouldn't be squeezed out of the culture class.
Xiao Yao is a junior two student in a middle school in Lanzhou. His academic performance is excellent, but his physical quality is average. He said: "At school, physical education class is often crowded by culture classes, and sometimes even extracurricular activities are occupied by self-study classes, so students' exercise time is very limited. "
Sean, a junior one student in a middle school in Lanzhou, said: "We arrive at school at 7: 20 in the morning and finish school at 5: 55 in the afternoon. We have five classes in the morning and four classes in the afternoon. There are only two festivals in physical education class every week. It's really a pity that physical education class has been occupied. We have no time to exercise at all. "
According to the national curriculum standard, the physical education curriculum from grade three to grade nine is 3 class hours per week. According to the reporter's investigation, in Lanzhou, many schools only arrange two physical education class classes for junior high school students every week, and some schools will also add an extra-curricular activity.
A physical education teacher in a middle school in Lanzhou told the reporter: "Many parents and teachers think that as long as their children get good grades in cultural courses, if they can enter a high school with good teaching quality after the senior high school entrance examination, it is equivalent to stepping into the gate of half a university. Therefore, parents and schools pay attention to students' academic performance, but ignore the exercise of children's physical quality. Judging from the school sports meeting held every semester, some students with excellent academic performance will vomit after running 800 meters or 1500 meters, and some students can't run down at all. "
At the same time, the reporter learned from some middle schools in other cities and states in our province that in order to improve students' grades, some schools often cancel physical education class temporarily and offer chemistry or physics courses instead.
Physical education will be included in next year's senior high school entrance examination.
On May 22nd, the general office of the provincial government forwarded the Notice on Further Strengthening the Implementation Opinions of School Physical Education by the Provincial Department of Education, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Provincial Department of Finance and the Provincial Sports Bureau. The circular made it clear that all localities should standardize school-running behaviors, reduce students' schoolwork burden, and effectively guarantee primary and secondary school students' daily physical education class class hours and 1 hour campus sports activities. Not for any reason to cut or occupy the time of physical education class and students' campus sports activities. We should conscientiously implement the national curriculum standards, offer physical education courses in an all-round way, and ensure that compulsory education has 4 class hours per week in grades one to two, 3 class hours per week in grades three to nine, and 2 class hours per week in high schools (including secondary vocational schools). According to the principle of local conditions and classified guidance, the local physical education curriculum resources are developed in combination with the actual situation. Conditional schools should offer traditional sports with the characteristics of the times and regions, and gradually form their own sports characteristics.
The circular requires that education departments and schools at all levels should formulate and implement a sunshine sports plan that integrates physical education courses, large-scale recess exercises and extracurricular sports activities. It is necessary to innovate the contents, methods and carriers of sports activities, pay attention to the integration of school sports and art education activities, enhance the interest and attraction of sports activities, cultivate students' sports hobbies, sports interests and skills, and vigorously cultivate students' 1 2.
