According to the Ministry of Education, students of primary and junior high schools will receive new labor(劳动) education from this term. They will take no less than one class in labor skills a week. They'll learn everything from everyday chores like cleaning, cooking and the use of home appliances(器具)to skills in farming and animal raising.
Students will learn different real - life skills in different grades. Take cooking as an example. They need to learn home cooking, from preparing vegetables to finally cooking a meal alone. Students in the first and second grades will learn to wash and prepare vegetables. In the third and fourth grades, students will learn to make cold dishes heat. The fifth and sixth graders will learn to cook two to three common dishes. Students in Grade 7-9 will learn to make three to four dishes for lunch or dinner.
An education expert says, we should pay more attention to each student's overall(全面的)growth and progress, instead of only the exam results. ""
"This reminds me of my life skills class in primary school. I-learned to make dumplings. It's a super - good memory of my childhood, "someone says online. "These will be lifelong skills for kids. They will help them become all - round people, not just students who are able to take exams, "says another Internet user.
