The Ministry of Education (MOE) recently released (发布) a new curriculum standard for labor education (劳动教育). Starting from the coming autumn term, students in primary and middle schools will take courses on labor skills at least once a week.

Next is productive labor, including agriculture, making traditional handcrafts, and using new technologies such as 3D printing and laser cutting. The third type is service work, including volunteer work.

The new curriculum also calls for a labor week every school year, which will be a week of after-school activities aimed at labor education.
