The Haizhu District Experimental Primary School has taken up a new rule to alleviate (减轻) worries over students’ backpack weights and health problems. This rule is to make sure students’ backpacks don’t exceed (超出)10 percent of their body weight according to national requests. From a survey (调查), over half of the students used to carry backpacks exceeded this standard. It could lead to back and muscle (肌肉) hurt.

The school gave different suggestions for different grades. Students in grade one and two are under 2.5 kilograms, grades three and four under 3.5 kilograms, and fifth graders and sixth graders are under 4.5 kilograms.

The school advised students to organize their backpacks based on their daily class schedules. They just need to carry necessary textbooks and school things. They should leave out unnecessary objects, and other reading materials can be borrowed from the school library or classroom book corner.

This rule just reflects the “double reduction” policy in 2021. Its purpose is to alleviate students’ after-school courses and homework burden (负担). Schools across the country have taken different kinds of actions to solve this problem, such as guiding students in organizing their backpacks, providing book space and necessary things like drinking water.
