According to the website of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education, the department recently stated in its response to a National People's Congress representative's "Suggestion on giving the 10 minutes between classes back to children" that those who delay classes and ban children from leaving the classroom during breaks must be held accountable in accordance with the law, and schools are encouraged to set up break supervision teams to take turns participating in break supervision and management.

The reply stated that the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education encourages schools to carry out diversified and personalized recess activities. First, let the concept of "everyone is the first person responsible for their own health" be deeply rooted in the hearts of students. Build a student health system, deepen physical activities during large recesses, and effectively promote full coverage of 30 minutes of physical activities during large recesses in primary and secondary schools every day, so that students can have one hour of physical activities inside and outside the school every day. Deeply implement the action plan for vision health management for children and adolescents, guide students to look far away or go outdoors during recess, increase outdoor activity time, prevent the occurrence of myopia, delay the development of myopia, and improve health levels. Second, carry out "one school, one product" activities during recess. Schools are encouraged to develop distinctive 10-minute "activity circles" based on their school conditions, and to add long breaks, no homework days, physical education and art courses to give children time to play; schools are encouraged to make full use of the "gold corners and silver edges" such as corridors, corners, and terraces on campus through "upward and downward" and "three-dimensional expansion" to expand the space for recess activities and give children somewhere to play; schools are encouraged to create and develop a civilized recess activity system with school characteristics, formulate appropriate recess activity plans, respect children's creativity, and give children something to play with.

The Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education introduced that a special action of "Standardized Management Year" for basic education will be launched. Further strengthen the responsibility of schools and local responsibilities, standardize and rectify the disorder of daily school management, and include "strictly prohibiting the arrangement of students' work and rest schedules in violation of the national regulations on student sleep time, or squeezing out the ten-minute break between students in various ways" in the negative list of action governance. The behavior of delaying classes and prohibiting students from leaving the classroom during breaks must be seriously held accountable in accordance with laws and regulations. Schools are encouraged to set up break supervision teams to take turns to participate in the supervision and management of breaks. Give full play to the role of responsible supervisors, and require responsible supervisors to go to school once a month to supervise educational and teaching behaviors, and promptly interview school leaders when violations such as breaks are found. Improve the regional education quality monitoring and education ecology monitoring indicator system, and take the implementation of breaks as an important indicator for implementing the party's education policy, testing the five-pronged education, promoting the all-round development and healthy growth of students, and optimizing the education ecology of basic education, and include it in the monitoring system and regional and school education assessment systems.
