on september 5, the education bureau of xinwu district, wuxi city, jiangsu province announced that starting from this fall semester, all compulsory education schools in xinwu district will implement 15-minute breaks and one physical education class per day to ensure that students have at least 100 minutes of physical exercise time in school every day, allowing students to walk out of the classroom, go outdoors, and walk into the sunshine to enjoy a healthier and more vibrant campus life.

the xinwu district education bureau stated that it is necessary to guide teachers and students to "go out" and relax outdoors, engage in beneficial social activities and moderate activities; encourage everyone to "get moving" and carry out targeted physical education activities during breaks based on the different age characteristics of students; ensure that students "have fun" by creating personalized highlight activities according to local conditions and carrying out stress-relieving activities that are beneficial to the body and mind.

according to the ordos jungar banner media center in inner mongolia, at the beginning of september, the fall semester of this year officially began. it was the break time at jungar banner longkou primary school. many students, under the organization of their teachers, entered the playground in an orderly manner for break activities. unlike in the past, this semester, after the third period of jungar banner longkou primary school, the break time between the first and second periods in the afternoon was extended to 15 minutes.

recently, in order to implement the educational concept of "warm education and learning in jungar banner", the jungar banner education and sports bureau has conducted research and analysis and decided that starting from the fall semester of this year, schools in the compulsory primary school stage will make overall coordinated optimization of the recess arrangements based on actual conditions. in principle, a 15-minute recess time will be implemented. after the optimization and adjustment of the recess time, the time for arriving at school in the morning, leaving school in the afternoon, and taking a lunch break in the primary school stage will remain unchanged.

the jungar banner media center reported that compulsory education schools in the banner have independently optimized and adjusted the recess arrangements according to local conditions and school conditions. this city-leading teaching measure aims to implement the curriculum reform concept of "reducing burden and increasing efficiency" for the high-quality development of education in jungar banner, improve classroom learning efficiency, and respond to the concerns of parents. provide teachers and students with more relaxed recess time, guide them to walk out of the classroom, go outdoors, walk into the sun, enjoy a healthier and more vibrant campus life, and provide better support for the healthy growth of students. to ensure the smooth implementation of the new regulations, the jungar banner education and sports bureau will strengthen guidance and supervision of various schools, strictly prohibit schools from squeezing out students' recess time, resolutely eliminate the problem of prohibiting students from leaving the classroom during recess, ensure that the recess requirements are implemented, collect feedback, and adjust relevant measures in a timely manner to create a learning environment that is more suitable for students' growth.

in addition, starting from this fall semester, beijing's compulsory education schools will make overall coordinated optimization of recess arrangements. in principle, they will implement a 15-minute recess time, provide more relaxed recess time, and guide teachers and students to walk out of the classroom, go outdoors, and walk into the sunshine, enjoy a healthier and more vibrant campus life, and promote the healthy physical and mental development of students.

according to current regulations, the daily recess activities for students in beijing's compulsory education schools are divided into short recesses and long recesses, of which the short recess is 10 minutes. in this adjustment, the additional time for the short recess is mainly optimized and adjusted from the long recess, and evenly distributed to each short recess. after the optimization and adjustment, the time for arriving at school in the morning, leaving school in the afternoon, and lunch break in the primary school stage remain unchanged; in the junior high school stage, except for the time for leaving school being slightly delayed by 5 minutes, the time for arriving at school in the morning and the time for lunch and lunch break remain unchanged overall.

public reports show that some schools have previously explored the "15-minute break" model.

according to the fujian jinjiang news network on september 7, the fujian provincial department of education recently issued the "notice on further optimizing the management of recess activities to promote the healthy growth of primary and secondary school students", which clearly stated that recess activities should generally be no less than 10 minutes, and encouraged schools to appropriately extend the recess activity time. the practice of optimizing recess time and extending the 10-minute recess to 15 minutes has been implemented in yuying central primary school for 6 years and has achieved good results.

"for six years, teachers and students have liked it very much. teachers get a break, and students can also walk out of the classroom and go outdoors to relax and adjust." the school has also specially added basketball machines and other equipment, combined with the school's points reward mechanism, so that students can study and exercise at the same time. in addition, the school has arranged a 30-minute break. students enter the school at 8:20 every day. the first thing they do is to do radio gymnastics on the playground, and then combine it with skipping, volleyball, football and other projects to ensure that they have no less than 30 minutes of physical activity time during school.

according to the shandong media "xinwang", in november 2023, qingdao licang district pioneered the "15-minute break" model in the province, and expanded the pilot scope to schools such as hushan road second primary school, zhenhua road primary school, and chongli primary school. at present, all 55 public schools in the district have normalized the "15-minute break" model. the school has formulated a "one school, one case" and organized diversified and personalized activities at different times and peaks according to the actual situation, so that all students can "move". qingdao dongchuan road primary school combines outdoor games such as dragon and snake dance, special sports such as skipping rope and hula hoop, traditional sports such as throwing sandbags and rolling iron rings, and indoor puzzle games, and organizes students to the playground in batches according to the floor to ensure that every student can participate in outdoor activities every day. the school's physical fitness monitoring in may this year showed that the excellent rate has increased by about 10 percentage points compared with the past.
