BEIJING - The Ministry of Education has asked universities to offer a compulsory course on psychological health to all students in their freshmen year.
The course should be allocated two credits and about 32 to 36 class hours, according to a guideline on promoting psychological health among college students published on the ministry's website Sunday.
It asked for the development of online courses and the use of new media platforms in promoting psychological health knowledge.
