Learning activities.” Tian Huisheng emphasized.

Major thematic education runs through each school section and covers all disciplines
For a long time, major thematic education in our country’s curriculum materials has been involved, but it is not systematic and complete, and lacks top-level design. Recently, the Ministry of Education has strengthened the overall design of major theme education, and has researched and formulated a series of major themes into the curriculum teaching materials guide or guideline.

Sex education, which is continuously carried out for all students, must run through all stages and cover all subjects.
