Hainan implements autumn break system for the first time

Study tours and parent-child tours are heating up

This autumn semester is the first time that primary and secondary schools in Hainan have implemented the autumn break system. Many students walked out of the classroom, and study tours and parent-child tours became more popular.

The autumn break for primary and secondary schools in Hainan is not a unified time for the whole province, but is independently arranged and determined by each city and county based on the teaching progress. Taking advantage of the autumn break, many students and parents also set their sights on study tours. Some travel agencies in Haikou have launched research activities with various themes.

Zhang Wei, the person in charge of a travel agency, said that the travel agency has now launched industrial studies, ocean studies, aerospace science studies, and tropical rainforest studies. Many children prefer aerospace studies, and registration is very popular.
