For the first time, primary and secondary schools in Jiangsu gave students a three-day spring break in early April. Together with the Qingming Festival, children enjoyed a six-day holiday. The policy aims to help students relax, enjoy nature, and reduce study stress.
Many parents welcomed the break. “Spring is the best time for children to go outside and feel the season,” one father said. During the holiday, zoos and sports centres opened for free. Schools gave no written homework. A company in Kunshan even gave employees three days of paid leave so they could stay with their children. Tourism data showed that searches for family trips rose sharply online. One mother shared that her son finally had time to fly kites and paint flowers in the park.
However, some parents felt troubled. Both parents have to work, but children stay at home. “We can only ask grandparents for help or send them to daycare centres,” a working mother of two said. She worried that leaving children alone at home could be unsafe. Other parents worried that the extra breaks would break the rhythm of learning. They thought their kids should go to school as usual. If there were too many breaks, students may lose the habit of studying.
To solve these problems, cities like Nanjing asked schools to provide free care services. Parents could choose how many days of care they needed. Community centres offered fun activities such as calligraphy, chess, and traditional crafts. In Yangzhou, 44 community centres stayed open for students, with seven offering full-day services. The companies’ paid leave policy（政策）received wide praise. Following this example, all 13 cities in Jiangsu encouraged companies to offer flexible（灵活的）leave for parents of school-age children.
In short, the spring break gives students a valuable chance to rest and explore. But it also creates new challenges for working families and schools. Finding a balance between relaxation and childcare still needs more thought and better support from both the government and employers.
