Business World Philippines
|November 13, 2025
Chinese authorities have announced measures to improve the mental health of primary and secondary school students by reducing academic pressure, cutting screen time and mandating two hours of physical exercise daily.

The initiatives announced last month by the Ministry of Education include a classroom ban on mobile phones and a period of “screen-free” time to reduce excessive reliance on the internet.
Schools must “strictly control” the total amount of homework and offer “at least” two hours of physical activity for primary and secondary students every school day.
