BEIJING, March 7 (Xinhua) — China has introduced an initiative to provide 15-minute breaks between classes and two hours of daily physical exercise for schoolchildren in all provincial-level regions of the country, Education Minister Huai Jinpeng said on Saturday.

According to monitoring conducted by the country's authoritative departments, the overall rate of excellent or good physical fitness among students in primary, middle, and higher education institutions nationwide has been steadily increasing, while the overall prevalence rate of myopia among students has been declining for the fourth consecutive year, Huai Jinpeng said at a press conference on the sidelines of the 4th session of the 14th National People's Congress.

China will continue to promote the campaign to strengthen students' physical fitness by creating physical education classes that are popular with students and encourage their active participation, and by organizing basketball, football, and volleyball matches on campuses. -0-
