In recent years, China’s Ministry of Education has been cracking down on what it considers to be an unhealthy focus on grades. These government initiatives come in the wake of increased scrutiny on the effects of stress on Chinese students.
In July 2018, China’s Ministry of Education released its first comprehensive report that assessed the primary and junior high school education sectors. One criticism made was of the way learning institutions placed unnecessary pressure on students, and made them learn more than they should for their age and academic level. In order to resolve this issue, the Ministry plans to pay close attention to school curriculums and will conduct surprise inspections to ensure that schools and afterschool education centers are following the new rules.
Questions:
1. According to the passage, what are the schools criticized for?
2. What does the Ministry of Education plan to do?
