For middle and primary school students, being able to cook will become a must. A new curriculum standard (课程标准) for labor (劳动) education recently came out. Starting from 2022 fall term, students are required to take courses on labor skills. The standard includes different labor tasks. The first is daily housework, including cleaning, organizing, cooking, and repairing home appliances. The next is productive labor (生产劳动), such as making traditional handicraft (手工艺品), and using new technologies like 3D printing. One more type is community work.
Labor education aims to develop students' basic life skills and good working habits. School education didn't value (重视) it in the past. According to a report in 2019, it takes Chinese kids only 12 minutes a day to do housework, compared with 72 minutes for American students each day and 30 minutes for French students.
Liu Fang, a mother of 6-year-old twins in Beijing, is a strong supporter of labor education. In the past year, she has trained her daughters to do household chores and make simple dishes for the family. "By doing housework, their hand-eye coordination (协调), time management and organization skills can be trained and it's also good to help them relax," said Liu. Through such education, her daughters have found fun in doing chores and are more independent.
