October 31, 2017 -- Social activities will be further integrated into China's education system, under guidelines issued by the Ministry of Education.
 
The ministry released the guidelines on Monday, asking primary, middle and high schools nationwide to design social activities in a better way and make the activities part of the school curricula.
 
Under the guidelines, social activities should be interdisciplinary and closely connected with students' lives and personal development. Students should be allowed to do research on their own and gain firsthand knowledge and experience.
 
The ministry said the curriculum could be carried out in diverse forms, citing an example of a student engaged in both designing and making things - such as with animation, programming or pottery.
 
It also suggested vocational experience as a learning track, suggesting that by observing or working at different jobs, students would come to know their strengths and specific interests and therefore could better set their own goals and make plans for future careers.
