Starting from this fall term, students in primary and middle school will have at least one lesson every week to learn basic household skills such as cleaning and cooking.
Primary school students in first and second grades need to do basic cleaning, wash vegetables and peel fruit, and learn to raise one or two kinds of plants or small animals.
Third and fourth graders should clean their classrooms, wash their underwear, and know how to make cold dishes and use home appliances (电器).
Fifth and sixth graders should learn the skills of cooking two or three common dishes, such as fried eggs.
For middle school students, they are encouraged to cook three or four dishes all by themselves, learn how to make one or two kinds of traditional handicrafts (手工艺品), and experience one or two types of new technologies, modern service or volunteer work.
People welcomed such courses and some said, “It is necessary to teach young students basic skills.” Some regretted not learning such skills during their school days.
Yang Jianping, mother of a first grader in Beijing, strongly supports teaching students such courses. Yang often asks her son to help make simple dishes and has taken him to plant vegetables at his grandmother’s garden in the countryside during summer vacation.
“He is very interested in planting vegetables and asks to video chat with his grandmother to see the plants every day,” she said.
