changchun city, jilin province recently responded to netizens' concerns about "too little free outdoor activity time during school breaks."

on september 4, a netizen left a message to changchun city, jilin province on the "leaders' message board" of people's daily online, saying, "the school limits children to ten minutes of free movement during class breaks. for safety and convenience, children only have five minutes to drink water and go to the toilet after class, and are not allowed to enter the playground. there are surveillance cameras in the classrooms, and they are not allowed to play during class breaks. it is also very quiet during class breaks. every noon, if it is cloudy or rainy, or the children are not doing well, the class does not allow children to take a lunch break. now the season is sunny, and there is almost no outdoor activity time during lunch break after school starts. children in lower grades sit quietly in the classroom every day, which does not respect the laws of education and the laws of students' physical and mental development. i hope the leaders can help solve the problem and give children a free and happy childhood!"

in response to this, on september 18, the changchun mayor's public telephone office of jilin province replied that after receiving the netizen's message, "we immediately instructed changchun new district to verify the situation. the reply results are as follows: after investigation, it was found that there were very few classes with the situation you reported. the teacher involved has been severely criticized to ensure that similar incidents will not happen again and that students have full time for outdoor activities every day. the school arranges two large recess activities in different time periods every day, organizes students to go outdoors and exercise, and strives to enable students to maximize their physical fitness and vitality during their time at school, and create a harmonious and good learning atmosphere."

last october, xinhua news agency's "xinhua viewpoint" column published an article titled "can't move freely except going to the toilet? -- investigation into the phenomenon of some primary and secondary school students being restrained during 10-minute breaks", which attracted widespread attention and heated discussions from all walks of life. in response to this topic, the ministry of education clearly stated that primary and secondary schools must ensure that students can move freely during breaks.

according to xinhua news agency, at the beginning of the new semester this fall, many places have extended the "10-minute break" to 15 minutes or even 20 minutes, giving children more time to get out of the classroom. at the same time, schools across the country have also taken various measures to make children have fun and parents feel at ease.
