Life skills are important and should be taught as part of labor education（劳动教育）. The Ministry of Education（MOE）（教育部）gave a revised course to high schools across the country. Labour education, also called education on the hardworking spirit（精神）, covers housework, school labour and community voluntary services（志愿服务）.
“Labour education must be carried out with the purpose（目的）of developing the view of the world, life and values and develop an interest in doing housework,” said the Vice Minister of Education.
According to China Youth Daily, the labour course will take six credits（学分）—the same as English and Physics. Voluntary service, as part of labour education, would take two credits. The MOE also asks schools to make sure 40 hours of voluntary service during the full three school years.
According to Xinhua, the young in our country do too little housework and they think labour jobs aren't important. Because of a lot of school stress, schools think the educational course is more important, and parents sometimes think that housework wastes their kids' time.
However, doing housework does not take young people's attention away. Instead, it is necessary for developing a strong working spirit.
