Recently, the Ministry of Education, together with the National Health Commission and the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, issued the “Notice on Grasping the Key Stage of Myopia Prevention and Control in Kindergartens and Primary Schools”, making the prevention of “little glasses” once again a hot topic of concern to the whole society.
The author learned from the Education and Sports Bureau of Guichi District, Chizhou City, Anhui Province that the district party committee and district government have long attached great importance to the problem of myopia among young children and implemented a series of precise and effective measures to prevent “little glasses”. Especially since 2022, our district has taken the transformation of classroom light environment as an important measure to prevent and control myopia among children and adolescents, and has invested more than 5 million yuan in total to implement the “Classroom Light Environment Standard Project” to improve the classroom light environment, prevent myopia among children and adolescents, and protect the “bright future” of students.
Zhujia Central School is one of the schools that benefited from this livelihood project. Recently, following the sound of reading aloud, the author walked into the classrooms of the school. The students sat down neatly. Under the illumination of 9 eye protection lamps and 3 blackboard lamps above the classroom, the whole classroom looked bright and warm. Under the comfortable light, the children read the text, wrote furiously, or stared at the blackboard. “The light of the eye protection lamp is sufficient and soft, which not only brings a comfortable visual experience to the children, but also significantly improves their concentration in class and greatly improves their learning efficiency.” Li Peigen, a science teacher at the school, said.
It is understood that the Zhujia Central School has fully completed the eye protection lamp renovation project in 15 classrooms. Before the renovation, most of the classrooms in the school used traditional fluorescent lighting, which was harsh and dazzling. On rainy days, problems such as insufficient lighting, blackboard reflection, and unclear multimedia blackboard display were particularly prominent, which not only affected the students’ vision health, but also had a negative impact on learning efficiency. After the renovation, the 9 eye protection lamps fully achieved the effect of uniform illumination, bright and comfortable, and the 3 blackboard lamps were also quite particular, using a special installation angle. When the light was directly shining, the handwriting on the blackboard was clearly visible, but the students under the stage and the teachers on the stage could avoid the direct light, greatly reducing the sense of glare.
