Schools in Lichuan, Hubei Province will have a two-day spring break this year, the local education department (部门) announced on Tuesday. When connected with the coming Qingming Festival holiday, students will enjoy a five-day vacation in a row.
Hangzhou has been at the forefront of this trend (趋势) since 2004, when it first introduced spring and autumn breaks. This year, districts like Shangcheng, Gongshu and Qiantang have extended(延长) spring breaks to nine days by joining them with the May Day holiday.
Seasonal(季节性的) school breaks are not new. Historically, many village schools in China allowed "farm breaks" during planting and harvest seasons, alongside winter and summer vacations. This practice of giving students time off for planting and harvesting disappeared after the nationwide adoption of the two-day weekend system but has recently gained attention again as cities explore flexible academic calendars.
Despite growing interest, extending spring and autumn breaks faces many difficulties. Parents often say no to this. They are worried that it will mess up the students' study plans and take students' minds off the classroom. The mismatch between school holidays and parents' work schedules also makes families become more and more nervous, especially those where both parents have jobs.
