Wu Xiong, a headmaster of a school, has spent about 20 years turning a small school in the mountains into a lively sports and education centre, CCTV News reported.
In 2004, Wu became the headmaster of Tangfang Primary School in Baling Town, Xingren City, Guizhou Province. At that time, the school was small and old, with only three teachers and 75 students. Worse still, many local children showed little interest in attending school. To solve this problem, Wu introduced sports.
In 2006, the school held its first sports meeting. “We carried a cement slab(水泥板) from 1.5 kilometres away, put it up with bricks and used wooden boards as a net for a table tennis competition,” Wu recalled. Over time, badminton and other events were added to the sports meeting, which was attractive to pupils.
As local education funding increased, Tangfang Primary School became a boarding school(寄宿学校) in 2009, which made Wu feel that enriching students' extracurricular(课外的) lives through different kinds of sporting activities was even more necessary.
Now, with the total area more than 10 times of that in 2004, the school has 42 teachers and nearly 500 students. The number of physical education teachers also increased from zero to four. With the strong support from the school, students have at least 2.5 hours every day for physical activities. Among the 469 students, only six wear glasses. Also, by taking part in different sports competitions, the students have learned how to deal with success and failure properly. The school's average scores(平均分) rose from below 30 in 2004 to over 80 in 2023. More than 100 graduates have entered middle schools as sports-focused students.
Wu said the school has the responsibility to balance physical activities with studies while students are required to finish their schoolwork first. Allowing the students to do sports that they enjoy is not a bad thing for both students and the school.
