There is a legal basis for the prevention and control of myopia
Our province has legislated against bringing cell phones into the classroom
Whether children bring mobile phones into school has always been a vexing issue for school teachers and parents. Take it, after all, is a student, self-control is not good, use more also hurt the eyes; I don't think so. The parents are worried. What to do? The regulations clearly stipulate that "students are strictly prohibited from bringing personal mobile phones, tablet computers and other electronic products into the classroom."
[original Regulations]
Article 24 Primary and secondary schools shall teach students the knowledge and methods of scientific eye use, organize students to carry out vision health activities at least twice a day, and test students' vision conditions at least twice a semester. Parents or other guardians of primary and secondary schools and minor students shall promptly correct students' incorrect reading and writing postures, guide and urge students to control the time of using their eyes at close range, ensure good lighting conditions in learning and living places, and prevent the loss of students' eyesight.
Primary and secondary schools shall strengthen the management of students' use of electronic products during school, and guide students to use electronic products in a scientific and standardized way; Students are strictly forbidden to bring personal mobile phones, tablet computers and other electronic products into class; If students are found to bring the above personal electronic products into the school, unified custody shall be implemented. Parents or other guardians of minor students shall control the time that students use electronic products.

The legalization of banning mobile phones in schools is more justifiable
"Twenty years ago, the myopia rate of the second grade students in primary school was only 2%, 20 years later, the myopia rate of the second grade students in primary school has reached 20%!" By the age of eight or nine, the myopia rate is about one-third. High school students are 80 percent nearsighted." Sun Wei, deputy director of the prevention and Treatment Center for low vision of adolescents in Shandong Province, revealed.
Sun Wei said that the United Kingdom and other European and American countries have legislation on the use of electronic products by students, stipulating that children under the age of 2 should avoid contact with any electronic products, and use electronic products no more than 3 times a day after the age of 2, no more than 20 minutes each time, and an hour of outdoor exercise should be added in the middle. This time, Shandong has adopted legislation to prohibit students from bringing personal mobile phones, tablet computers and other electronic products into the classroom, and increase the time for outdoor sports, which provides a legal basis for the prevention and control of myopia, and can effectively reduce the incidence of myopia among teenagers.
Zhang Bo, vice principal of Jinan High School, pointed out that the school also does not allow students to bring mobile phones into the campus, but the lack of legal basis to support it, once individual students or parents raised questions, the school has nothing to do. This time, the Ordinance has made explicit provisions to legalize the practice of schools and make them more justified.
However, for the issue of eye exercise, Vice President Zhang Bo also expressed his confusion. She said that although today's students have been doing eye exercises since childhood, there are not many who can really press the correct acupoints. "For the vast majority of students, doing eye exercises is just a guide." Schools urgently need expert guidance in this area.
Open a full physical education course
Do not less than one hour of physical activity every day
"At least one hour of physical activity per day during the school day; Schools shall offer physical education courses in accordance with the relevant national and provincial regulations and complete the teaching tasks required by the curriculum standards..." The Regulations put forward specific requirements for sports activities in primary and secondary schools.
[original Regulations]
Article 10 Schools shall, through morning exercises, physical education classes and extra-curricular sports activities, ensure that students have at least one hour of physical activity on campus every day during the school day.
Article 11 Schools shall, in accordance with the relevant regulations of the State and the province, offer physical education courses, complete the teaching tasks required by the curriculum standards, and may not reduce or occupy the hours of physical education.
Article 12 Schools shall organize and carry out extra-curricular sports activities, incorporate them into their teaching plans and schedules, and link them with the content of physical education courses.
Article 17 Schools shall formulate sports risk prevention and control systems and sports injury accident handling plans, carry out targeted safety education, and implement safety protection measures. Schools shall, in accordance with regulations, apply for school liability insurance for student injury accidents, and encourage parents or other guardians of minor students to apply for personal accident insurance for students. If a student has a special constitution or a specific disease, the parents or students shall promptly inform the school in writing.
【 Interpretation 】
There is currently a shortage of nearly 7,000 PE teachers
Sun Lewei, director of the Physical Health and Art Department of the Provincial Department of Education, revealed that there are nearly 7,000 physical education teachers in primary and secondary schools in our province.
Ge Shulin, dean of the physical Education College of Shandong Normal University, said that it is not enough talent for physical education training, the main problem is the establishment of the problem, some primary and secondary school recruitment of physical education teachers is not prepared. "Shanshi Physical Education Institute has 300 students a class, and few of these students become physical education teachers after graduation." Ge Shulin said that it was not the students who did not want to go, but the PE teachers did not have a staff. In the final analysis, the physical education curriculum has not received enough attention. We look forward to the early implementation of the Regulations, and primary and secondary schools can truly be equipped with physical education teachers and open a full physical education curriculum.
As mentioned in Article 17 of the Regulations, "Schools shall, in accordance with the provisions, handle school liability insurance for student injury accidents, and encourage parents or other guardians of minor students to handle personal accident insurance for students." Sun Lewei, director of the physical, health and art department of the provincial education Department, said this is to prevent schools from allowing students to participate in outdoor sports for fear of risks. In the future, schools can prevent risks and make students healthy by developing sports risk prevention and control systems and injury accident handling plans, and handling school liability insurance for student injury accidents.
Ge said that because of the fear of physical tests or physical education accidents, slightly more intense sports are rarely seen. The introduction of the Regulations can dispel the concerns of schools and escort the whole physical education curriculum for schools to open.
New regulation stand
The problem of meals for primary and secondary school students will be solved at school
For dual-income families, the biggest problem for children in primary and secondary schools is not picking up, but the problem of children's meals. In the past, many schools resisted the mention of "canteen", citing concerns about food safety. In order to solve the problem of children's eating, parents have to find small tables outside the school. However, the supervision of small dining tables is not sound, which often brings hidden dangers. The "Regulations" issued by Shandong clearly require that "the organizer of the school should build the canteen in accordance with the relevant standards and complete the relevant equipment."
[Original text of the Regulations]
Article 29 The organizer of a school shall, in accordance with relevant standards, build school canteens and equip them with relevant equipment. School canteens are encouraged to have full-time or part-time nutritionists.
Where school canteens are entrusted to operate, food safety and dietary nutrition shall be taken as the necessary terms of the contract.
Schools that do not have the conditions to build canteens and have dining needs should choose qualified collective dining distribution units through market competition to carry out food delivery services for students and ensure a balanced nutritional intake of students.
Schools shall implement the responsibility for food safety management, establish a food safety management system, and arrange specialized personnel to take charge of school food safety management to ensure food safety.
Pupils are not allowed to spend more than six hours in the classroom
Reducing the workload is one of the important measures to ensure the physical fitness of primary and secondary school students. The regulations make it clear that primary and secondary schools should reasonably arrange students' study time and reduce students' academic burden.
[original Regulations]
Article 33 Primary and secondary schools shall reasonably arrange students' study time and reduce their academic burden; The daily classroom learning time shall not exceed six hours in primary schools and eight hours in middle schools, and the homework assigned shall not exceed the amount of homework limited by the basic standards of primary and secondary school teaching in this province, so as to ensure that students have sufficient time for sports activities and rest and sleep. Primary and secondary schools shall open the curriculum at the beginning of each semester and accept the supervision of students' parents.
Article 34 Parents or other guardians of minor students shall cultivate students' good dietary hygiene and work and rest habits, ensure that students have balanced nutrition and sleep no less than eight hours a day, and promote their healthy growth. (According to Shandong Business Daily)
