BEIJING, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- As millions of Chinese students entered new primary and middle schools on the first day of the academic year on Friday, they received newly-edited books and a new curriculum, adjusting the educational emphasis toward different subjects.
Yi Mide, a grade one student in the No. 2 Primary School of Qigong Street, Shenyang nike vapormax uomo saldi , capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, said he did not have English on his curriculum like older students, but had science, which was new to grade one students.
LESS ENGLISH
Previously, studies of Chinese and English had the same weighting, and Chinese students started English study from grade one in primary schools.
The revised curriculum followed a slew of reforms announced by China's Ministry of Education last year on the National College Entrance Exam, or the gaokao, asking universities not to base their judgement of applicants solely on the gaokao scores of three major subjects -- math nike air vapormax uomo , Chinese and English -- but take consideration of selective classes as well as evaluations of morality, physical health, art cultivation and social practices.
English will now not begin before third grade.
"It is not necessary to start school study English language with too much emphasis on grammar and spelling," said Zhu Lamei, an English education researcher in Wuhan Education Science Institute in central China's Hubei Province.
She said that juniors could access a large number of English-language picture books as well as video and audio products on the market.
Jiang Rui, an English teacher at the No. 2 Primary School in Qigong Street, Shenyang, said junior students were likely to be confused when they started the study of both the English alphabet and Chinese phonetics from grade one.
"I think it would be good for students to start the school education of a foreign language from grade three nike vapormax uomo , after they have a solid foundation of their native language in the first two years of their primary schools," Jiang said.
MORE CHINESE
The Chinese textbooks for primary schools have added more traditional Chinese articles and poems, 129 in total. In three-year junior high schools, students will learn 132 ancient Chinese articles.
The articles were selected from classic prose, essays, historical records and poetry dating back to the Han, Tang and Song dynasties. Students are required to learn how to make rhyming couplets.
Some parents questioned the added emphasis on classical Chinese, which is no longer in use. Others welcomed it as a wise decision.
"At a time of fast pace nike air vapormax grigie , many people, with a mind to utilitarianism, seem to have lost the ability to enjoy the aesthetics of language, literature and life," said Wei Jing, mother of a first-grader.
