Why does school start in September 1?

The reason why the school started in September 1 is that this date not only conforms to the historical tradition of China, but also meets the needs of modern education.

1, historical inheritance

China's education system has undergone many changes, but since the end of the Qing Dynasty, there has been a rule that autumn begins as a school year. This is related to the agricultural production in China, because after the summer harvest, the labor demand of farmers' families is reduced, making it easier to send their children to school. September 1, as the opening day, also means a new beginning.

2. The climate is suitable

September is early autumn, and the weather is getting cold, not as sultry as summer, nor as cold as winter. Such an atmosphere is more conducive to students' physical and mental health and to the development of teaching activities.

3. Class allocation

From September 1 to June 30th of the following year, there are about 300 days, which can be divided into two semesters, and each semester is about 150 days. Such class time allocation can not only ensure the teaching quality, but also meet the arrangement of teaching content, and also leave enough holiday time for students.

Cultural differences in the start date.

America 1

Public schools in the United States generally start on the second day of Labor Day, which falls on the first Monday in September, so school day in the United States is also in early September. This has something to do with the history of the United States. Because the United States was an agricultural society in the early days, summer was the busiest time for farmers, so schools had summer holidays and didn't start school until the end of the busy farming season in September.

2. Japan

Schools in Japan usually start on September 1 or September 2, which is because the Japanese education system is influenced by the United States, and it is also to adapt to the climate and curriculum. But the school year in Japan begins in April, so the second semester begins in September, not the first semester.

3. France

Schools in France also start in September, but the specific date will vary according to different regions and grades, usually in the first or second week of September. This is because the French education system is more flexible, allowing schools to set the start date according to their own conditions, but they must also abide by the national education laws and regulations.
