Chinese primary and middle school pupils spend longer at school and take more after-school classes compared with students in other countries, according to a report.

In 2015, the average (平均的) school time for primary school students increased to 8.1 hours a day, from 6.7 hours in 2010. This report was from an important education organization in China.

The report said that middle school students spent 11 hours a day at school in 2015, 3.3 hours longer than five years ago. Besides, Chinese students had too much homework to do, which also put pressure on their parents. About 80% of parents said they had to supervise (监督) their children while they were doing their homework.

Chinese students also spent more time on learning outside the classroom. By the end of 2016, about 137 million students had taken part in after-school classes, the report said. Chinese students spent 17 hours a week on learning after classes finished, much longer than the average —7. 8 hours around the world.

Luckily, these days the Ministry of Education has realized these problems and is now trying to make some rules to solve the problems. I hope Chinese students can study easily and happily in the future.
