HONG KONG: China’s Ministry of Education said on Tuesday (May 14) it was launching a campaign to address issues including excessive homework and bullying in schools, as part of efforts to boost students’ mental health.
The announcement came a day after the ministry said it was carrying out mental health education for teachers and students, with a particular focus on rural migrant children or those “left behind”, whose parents work in large cities for much of the year.
