China is pressing ahead with a nationwide campaign to prioritize students' health and well-being, in full alignment with the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) for national economic and social development.

The plan proposed promoting the healthy and comprehensive development of students through a robust physique improvement campaign.

By expanding sports space, securing activity time, strengthening policy oversight and embedding health in school governance, China is redefining basic education, experts said.

The once-dominant "scores first" mindset is giving way to a "health first" philosophy that nurtures physically strong, mentally positive and socially competent young people. With coordinated efforts across families, schools and society, China is building a healthier, more sustainable education system that truly supports every student to thrive, they said.

As the spring semester kicked off, schools across the country rolled out concrete measures to put "health first" into daily practice.

In Nanchang, Jiangxi province, primary schools such as Nanchang Normal University Affiliated Experimental Primary School have turned rooftops into "sky playgrounds" where students jump rope, play ball and have climbing activities during breaks.

"We used to only walk in hallways; now we can play on the rooftop," said Li Yutong, a fourth-grader. Since last year, Jiangxi has encouraged schools with limited space to use rooftops, corridors and underground spaces to build "micro-playgrounds" and bring vitality back to campuses.

In Beijing, all primary and secondary schools launched class leagues in the first week of the new semester, with plans to hold 400,000 matches throughout the year.

Meanwhile, numerous regions are easing academic pressure to guarantee sleep and rest.

A middle school in Chengdu, Sichuan province, canceled the mandatory morning reading session for all grades, setting the earliest arrival time at 7:50 am to ensure sufficient sleep and ample time for breakfast.

Similar changes have been adopted in Ningbo, Zhejiang province; Nanjing, Jiangsu province; Huizhou and Dongguan, Guangdong province, where local education authorities banned early mandatory arrival and standardized school hours to tackle sleep deprivation.

During a news conference on the sidelines of the recently concluded fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress, Education Minister Huai Jinpeng stressed two key phrases: sweaty bodies and sparkling eyes.

"Sweaty bodies mean getting students moving. We must make physical exercise the most effective way to get students out of classrooms and onto playgrounds," he said. "We need to create PE classes that students enjoy and that make them sweat, and extensively promote competitions in soccer, basketball and volleyball, making 'class leagues' and 'school leagues' ignite campus vitality, ensuring every student masters at least one sports skill for lifelong benefit."

The minister noted that 15-minute breaks between classes and at least two hours of daily physical activity have been fully implemented nationwide. Official monitoring shows students' overall physical health has kept improving, and myopia rates have dropped for four straight years.

He added that a new round of student mental health action plans will be launched, using sports, arts, labor, outdoor activities and reading to foster positive mental traits. Student health will become a core indicator in school evaluations and education inspections.

Xing Shunfeng, deputy director of the Shandong Provincial Department of Education, said that student physical health indicators have been incorporated into the province's high-quality development assessment system for local governments.

"We included the student physique health excellence rate and myopia rate as the only education-related indicators in the provincial assessment of local government,"Xing said. "This top-down assessment puts concrete responsibilities at the local and school levels."

The results have been impressive. Leveraging its status as the nation's only provincial-level demonstration zone for myopia prevention and control, Shandong has seen myopia rates among primary and secondary school students decrease by 4.27 percentage points over the past three years, he said.

The province has also comprehensively implemented physical education exam reforms for high school entrance, with most cities allocating over 60 points for PE, guiding students from "cramming before exams" to "exercising daily".

At the school level, Kang Yongbang, Party secretary of the Primary School Affiliated to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, vividly recalled the moment that transformed his educational philosophy.

At the school's opening on Sept 1, 2007, among over 1,000 students standing for less than half an hour, 23 children had to be escorted to rest because they were too weak, Kang said.

"Looking at those pale little faces, I felt terrible — if their health is like this, how can they contribute to the country in the future? I often tell teachers that health is the '1', and everything else is '0' — without that 1, all the 0s are useless."

His school now ensures students get three hours of daily exercise through one PE class, a one-hour break, and after-school services. The school has creatively utilized every available space — corridors, rooftops, and elevated floors — installing 829 table tennis tables, 136 basketball hoops, and 36 mini-soccer fields.

"We don't judge PE classes by how standard the movements are, but by two things: whether students sweat and whether they smile," Kang said. With over 2,200 class league matches annually, students learn not only how to win but also how to lose gracefully, he said.

The results speak for themselves: among the school's five campuses and over 7,000 students, the physical health excellence rate has reached 93.97 percent. Graduating students are now on average 5.52 centimeters taller than they were 11 years ago, according to Kang.
