Nurturing students with heart, escorting their growth: building a strong defense line for students' mental health
2026-03-13
This year's government work report proposes to strengthen physical education, aesthetic education, labor education, and mental health education, improve the school family social collaborative education mechanism, and promote students' physical and mental health and comprehensive development. At the press conference on the theme of people's livelihood at the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress, Minister of Education Huai Jinpeng stated that a new round of student mental health promotion actions will be implemented to build a comprehensive framework for mental health education for all staff. The concept of 'health first' has moved from consensus to action, and mental health education has risen from a specialized task to a core component of the education system, which has greatly inspired me! ”Liu Xiya, a member of the National People's Congress and Secretary of the Party Committee of Xiejiawan School in Jiulongpo District, Chongqing, who has put forward suggestions related to adolescent mental health for many years, said. Li Hui, a National People's Congress representative and teacher at Beiguan Primary School in Yicheng County, Shanxi Province, has always been concerned about left behind children in rural areas. During a survey three years ago, Li Hui and her teachers went to a rural school in Yicheng County, where they celebrated a group birthday filled with laughter and joy with the children. At the end, a left behind child said to her, "Teacher, I think being a left behind child today is also good, and I can even celebrate my birthday." This childlike sentence made Li Hui feel heartbroken - the children were so eager to receive love. Afterwards, Li Hui often focused on these children hiding in the "lonely castle" and repeatedly proposed to strengthen the care for left behind children at the Two Sessions. Establishing a "Love Station" for left behind children in rural areas and improving the working mechanism of child directors... Her suggestions have received attention from relevant departments. Nowadays, in some rural primary schools, mental health teachers pay regular attention to student dynamics, volunteer service teams regularly come to school to communicate with left behind children, and school teachers relay care and companionship to fill the gap with love. This year's two sessions, many representatives and members have brought more detailed and precise policy suggestions. Huang Huachun, a National People's Congress representative and vice principal of Chongzuo Senior High School in Guangxi, proposed to include mental health examinations in routine physical examinations for primary and secondary school students. Strengthening physical fitness through exercise, honing character through challenges, and subtly refining character. ”Hong Wei, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Secretary of the Party Committee of Shijia Hutong Primary School in Dongcheng District, Beijing, suggested building a growth chain of "eating to cultivate physical fitness, sports to shape beauty, aesthetic education to nourish the heart, and heart to cultivate morality", promoting the organic connection and coordinated development of mental health services and "five educations", and jointly laying a solid physical and mental foundation for students' lifelong and comprehensive development. In Liu Xiya's view, "one gram of prevention is greater than one ton of treatment", and the focus of mental health education should shift from post intervention to daily prevention, ensuring that students have sufficient exercise and sleep time, enhancing learning interest and improving positive psychological qualities in a healthy and autonomous environment. From policy deployment to grassroots practice, a series of "spiritual stations" are being built, and the mental health care system involving the whole society is constantly improving. When every confession is answered and every heart is gently nurtured, the power of protection will eventually turn into a strong wind, lifting every student to their own vast world and laying the foundation for lifelong development with a healthy body and mind.
