Why is the school summer vacation in Guizhou only one month?

This 10 school in Huanglian Township, Tongzi County, Zunyi City has only one summer vacation and more than two winter vacations.

At the beginning of August, when most students were spending their summer vacation, the children in Huanglian Township, Tongzi, Guizhou Province had already started school!

Because of the special geographical location, the freezing weather in winter is about 50 days, while the temperature in summer is only over 20 degrees. With the approval of the Education Bureau, all schools in Huanglian Township start school one month in advance in autumn and have two to three months in winter vacation.

It is understood that Huanglian Township is located in the alpine zone, with an average elevation of 1.500m, and is known as "Little Tibet in Zunyi". Huanglian township will enter the freezing period from mid-June to February in 5438 every year. The road surface is frozen and the traffic is difficult, which affects the work and study of teachers and students in Huanglian Township. Throughout the year, the rainy and foggy weather in Huanglian Township reached nearly 300 days and the freezing weather was about 50 days.

The snow on the ground of the student dormitory will turn into ice at night.

Speaking of the low temperature rain and snow in winter in Huanglian Township, Mr. Yu Jianghu, who has been teaching in Huanglian Township 16, was deeply touched. "One winter, the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and the teacher who returned to the county on weekends had to walk more than 30 kilometers from the foot of the mountain to return to school in order not to delay giving classes to the children on Monday." He said.

Once, the school classrooms and dormitories here were wet and cold in winter. In order to keep warm at night, several children wear cotton-padded clothes and sleep in a small bed. In class during the day, the children rub their hands and stamp their feet to keep warm. Due to the cold, the proportion of teachers and students suffering from colds in winter exceeds 50%.

Not only that, the low temperature continues to freeze, the heating conditions are limited, children can't concentrate at low temperature, some teachers and students often catch colds, and the learning effect is not ideal.

Huanglian Township is one of the poorest towns in Guizhou Province. "No matter how hard you work, you can't work hard for your children. No matter how poor you are, you can't work hard for education." In order to make teachers feel at ease in teaching and let students concentrate on their studies, the Tongzi county government has set up nearly 200 classrooms in the township 10 schools. After the Zunyi City and County Education Bureau invested more than 300,000 yuan to implement the "Winter Heating Plan", all the schools were equipped with air conditioners, and some schools were also donated by enterprises to install floor heating. Now, no matter how cold it is outside in winter, the classroom is always warm, which provides good conditions for students to study. "Teacher Yu said.
