HEFEI - Over this year's summer vacation, many Chinese pupils are ditching app-based homework and picking up pens and paper to preserve their eyesight.
In April 2018, the number of monthly active users of educational apps in China exceeded 220 million. Among them, users aged between six and 18 reached 146 million, up 41 per cent year on year, according to a report published by QuestMobile, a leading big data service provider. In February, eastern China's Zhejiang province issued a draft regulation to ban app-based homework assignments, limit the use of electronic devices to 30 per cent of total teaching time and encourage the issuing of paper homework to be completed by hand.
Mr Xiong Bingqi, vice-president of 21st Century Education Research Institute, a leading educational think-tank in China, said limiting the amount and time of app-based homework assignments is of great significance to alleviating teenagers' myopia.
