Why do schools start their first semester in September instead of February?

It may be related to "Spring Festival! The boundary between the Chinese New Year and the Chinese New Year is the first semester before the Spring Festival and the second semester after it.

1. Expert: Tian Zhengping, Dean of the School of Education, Zhejiang University, who is also the Chinese Society of Education.

He is the vice chairman of the Professional Committee of the History of Education, and has published works such as "Research on the History of Chinese Education (Modern Volume)".

Professor Tian Zhengping said that as early as 1912, September 1 became the beginning of the unified school year in China, and this is Mr. Sun Yat-sen.

Certain, but before that, there are certain historical factors in our country's determination of the start of the fall semester.

At the beginning of the 20th century, neighboring Japan had a relatively complete school system and became the Qing Dynasty.

The object of imitation of the educational reform, when the new school year in Japan was the beginning of the autumn semester, the Qing ** ordered Zhang Baixi, Rongqing, and Zhang Zhidong to take the Japanese school system as the blueprint, redraft the school charter, and promulgated the "Gui Mao school system, that is, the fall semester starts" in January 1904. Because the Japanese school system was inherited from Germany, the "癸卯 School System" can also be said to be the embodiment of the influence of Europeanization in those years.

This is the first systematic school system promulgated by the state in modern China to be implemented nationwide, and it is the first time that the unified opening time of primary and secondary schools across the country (equivalent to the beginning of September in the Gregorian calendar) has been clarified. However, the lunar calendar was still in use at the time, so the theory that the school would start on September 1 is still uncertain.

It was not until 1912 that Sun Yat-sen announced that the lunar calendar would be changed to the universal Gregorian calendar. From September of that year to August of the following year, Nanjing was temporary**.

It has successively promulgated various school regulations, which are known as the "Nonzi Guichou School System" in history.

Among them, the opening time of each primary and secondary school continued the mention of Qing **, and was further determined to be September 1 of the Gregorian calendar, and it has been used to this day.

2. Non-governmental: 1) regulations of the Ministry of Education;

2) seasonal climatic reasons;

Because September of the general solar calendar is the early autumn of the Chinese lunar calendar, the summer vacation is basically over, and the weather is gradually cooler, which is suitable for concentrating on studying. The same goes for the winter holidays, when the school year starts on March 1, it is the beginning of spring, and the weather is starting to get warmer. As for choosing No. 1, it should be convenient to calculate the class time from the beginning of the month.

It is mainly considered for the characteristics of the northern climate.

3) the reasons for the busyness of farming;

Because the largest group in China is farmers, spring is the season of sowing, at this time the money in hand of farmers is mainly put into production, and it is a busy agricultural season, parents can not spare time to accompany their children to pay tuition, and it is relatively difficult to provide tuition, and in autumn farmers summer harvest fruit (September 1 has not yet been harvested, not too busy) has been harvested, in the market for money back, and relatively idle, so there is a new school year in the autumn on September 1.

September is a good harvest season, and the autumn is crisp and suitable for the start of school in September, and the mood is good.

Our country learned from the Soviet Union, this kind of thing. This is why the learning system has appeared, and this phenomenon has been used until now. It hasn't changed.

Because spring is the first semester, [September] belongs to the second semester. So it has to be, [September] to start school.

Question 1: 2014--2015 The first semester and the second semester refer to the month to the month The first semester: September to February.

Second semester: March to July.

Question 2: The time of schooling, the first semester and the second semester, is from the beginning to the end of the month, the more detailed the better. The first semester is September-January.

The second semester is from March to July.

Question 3: A semester is a few months A semester is a unit of class time in an academic year. Different countries have different semester systems, and the most common semester systems are two-semester, three-semester, and four-semester systems. Spring or fall portion of the school year.

Schools at all levels in Chinese mainland (including all primary and secondary schools, high schools and most universities) operate in two semesters, with the first semester running from September to January of the following year, and the second semester running from February (depending on the date of the Lunar New Year) to June.

Question 4: The school time of high school from months to months (3 years) This can't be said too accurately, sometimes the whole country is unified, and sometimes it depends on the decision of the Education Commission, it can only be said that the last stage of the third year of high school is basically the same in the whole country, after the winter vacation, the school starts on March 1, about mid-July, and the middle may depend on the teaching situation and so on, and then the school starts in late August, and the winter vacation is put on around New Year's Day.

Question 5: When does the first semester of high school end The first semester of high school starts in September and ends in January, and the second semester starts in February and ends in July.

Question 6: When did the last semester start? 7th month of the lunar calendar and 9th month of the lunar calendar.

Question 7: What is the month to the first month of spring from the first month to March, that is, the spring of the four seasons.

Question 8: When does the first semester of school start and end in what month is different from school to school, but it generally starts in early September and ends in January.

Question 9: What is the month to the first semester in Australia In Australia, it is an academic year from February to November. Most universities operate a double semester system, i.e. the first semester runs from the end of February to the beginning of June, and the second semester runs from July to early November.

Universities usually start in March and end at the end of November, and depending on the school, each academic year is divided into two or three semesters. Recently, more and more universities are accepting new students in July, but this also varies by course.

Most colleges and universities in the country almost open around September 1st, like some junior colleges and universities are almost open on September 10th, but there are also some schools, they only open in October, and some schools open around August 15th, the regulations of each school are different, and the time for their students to register is also different. Therefore, depending on the region, the time when students start school is also different.

The traffic pressure at the beginning of the university is very great, especially the train, many students can't buy train tickets, some students want to buy station tickets, but the road is far away, the freshmen are not only students but also parents, they travel a lot of people, and the freshmen start school, they carry more things, and it is not a happy thing to take the transportation. For some larger cities, there are many universities, so the traffic pressure is very annoying, soIn order to stagger the start of school, they chose different times to start school

The climate of each region of our country is different, and the southern region, which is closer to the equator, is hotter, soThe summer vacation is relatively long, and the start time of school is generally lateThe weather in the north is relatively cold, and the winter vacation time will be a little longer, but the summer vacation time is relatively short, because the climate is different, and the start time of school is not the same.

In the north, heating is needed in winter, but school heating requires a generation of expenses, so the time of winter vacation is equivalent to the time of summer vacation in the south, but there are also many schools in the south, which open in mid-September, and few schools open in October.

The results of the college entrance examination will be released after a period of time, and then students begin to fill in the volunteers, but the volunteers are also divided into batches, and the time for the undergraduate college to fill up is different, and the undergraduate will be divided into the first batch and the second batch, and there will be supplementary records during this periodThe whole admission process is a long timeAnd the school will also send admission letters to students in batches, some students have already got their own admission letters, but there are also students whose admission letters are still in school, it is because the school's work arrangements are different, so that they will start school at different times, if they work late, they will start school late.

The majors are different, the time they need is not the same, some schools they open just because they have different requirements for the major, they feel that students do not need to stay in school for so long, so they choose to start late, as long as they can successfully complete the teaching plan, then it is okay.

Although the start time is different, it will not affect the teaching quality of the school, and each school will not start more than a month apart, and students who are late should not worry, because the school has its own arrangements, and you can use this period to accompany your parents at home.

Because the curriculum arrangement of each school is different and the majors covered are different, some schools open in September because they have heavy teaching tasks, and the schools that open in October are mostly junior colleges, and there are no classes, so there is no need to start school so early.

Because at present, the continuous high temperature will delay the opening time of some colleges and universities, and another reason is that some schools have their own characteristics, military training in September, and the start of school in October.

Because of the epidemic in recent years, colleges and universities have implemented batches of openings, and new students are often the last batch, and the school starts relatively late.

September 1st is the first semester. First semester: September 1, end of January or mid-February, second semester: March and early July.

An academic year is a full year, including winter and summer vacations. There are two semesters in a year, one semester and half a year. According to Chinese law, the school period (which can be elementary school, junior high school, high school, university, graduate school) is completed for one year, and generally from September in autumn to September of the following year (including winter and summer vacations) is an academic year.

Generally speaking, after one school year, one grade is promoted.

Basic characteristics of compulsory education:

1. Mandatory.

Compulsion is also called compulsory. It is the obligation of schools, parents and society to allow school-age children and adolescents to receive compulsory education. Whoever violates this obligation is subject to the law.

Parents who do not send their students to school are held responsible; If the school does not accept school-age children and teenagers to go to school, the school shall be responsible; **No corresponding conditions are provided, and they are also subject to the law.

2. Universality.

In the new law, it has been emphasized from beginning to end that a unified compulsory education should be implemented throughout the country, and this unification includes the formulation of unified standards for the setting of textbooks, teaching standards, funding standards, construction standards, and public funds for students at the compulsory education stage.

3. Free.

It is clearly stipulated that "no tuition and miscellaneous fees will be charged". Compulsory education is the education that all school-age children and adolescents must receive in a unified manner by the state, and it is a public welfare undertaking that the state must guarantee. Compulsory education is implemented, and no tuition or miscellaneous fees are charged.

The State is to establish a mechanism for guaranteeing funding for compulsory education to ensure the implementation of the compulsory education system.

It's the beginning of the school season again, I believe that whether it is college students or high school students, and even kindergarten children have returned to campus one after another on September 1st, it seems that September 1st has become a social convention start date, so have you ever thought about why September 1st of every year will be the first day of school?

The beginning of the school year on September 1st.

In fact, the fundamental reason is that China's first school system stipulates that the school system will be unified in early September. Later, Sun Yat-sen further stipulated that the time required for the start of school was September 1 every year, and this regulation has been followed since then.

And because of the climate, September happens to be the autumn season of the rough festival, more suitable for learning, and because the largest group in China is farmers, spring is the season of sowing, at this time the farmers' money in hand is mainly put into production, and it is the busy season of farming, so the parents can not spare time to accompany their children to pay tuition, and it is relatively difficult to provide tuition, and in the autumn when farmers harvest the fruits in summer (there is no autumn harvest on September 1, not too busy) has been harvested, in the market for money back, and relatively idle, So there is a new school year that begins on September 1 in the fall.

September is the first semester

Schools at all levels in Chinese mainland (including all primary and secondary schools, high schools and most universities) operate in two semesters, with the first semester running from September to January and the second semester running from February (depending on the date of the Lunar New Year) to June.

The annual teaching time is generally 45 weeks, each semester is 22 or 23 weeks, and the other 7 weeks are winter and summer vacations.

1 February (the second half of the lunar month to the first half of the first month of the following year) winter vacation, July and August summer vacation (there will be additional classes during the winter and summer vacations of the third year of junior high school). The summer vacation generally ends around July 10 and ends around August 31, a total of about 50 days, about 7 weeks. The winter vacation is about 30 days, about 4 weeks.

Semester division in other parts of China:

1. Education in Hong Kong: There are no hard and fast rules. Primary schools are mostly two semesters; Some middle schools have two semesters and some have three semesters; Universities are mostly two semesters.

The English name is also different, such as the Chinese University is called "term" according to the British tradition, and the University of Science and Technology follows the American name: "semester".

2. Education in Taiwan: The semester system of schools at all levels in Taiwan (including primary and secondary schools, high school vocational schools, and colleges and universities) is also two semesters, with the first semester from September to January of the following year, and the second semester from February to June.

3. South Korea. The first semester in Korea is from early March to mid-July, the second semester is from late August to mid-February, and the second semester has a winter break from mid-December to early February.
