Psychological Counseling Planned for Students
Psychological counseling centers will be built within five years in all junior middle schools in east China's Zhejiang Province, officials said.
Shen Minguang, vice-director of Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education, said at an education meeting recently that he hoped the centers will improve the psychological health of students.
Earlier this year, a middle school student in the province killed his mother for pressure from heavy load of homework. The incident shocked the nation.
The official said education department will train teachers on psychology counseling and grant certificates to those who are competent, and help schools carry out researches on psychology.
"Families should also communicate with schools for the sake of students' psychological health," he said.
Experts warned that psychological education for adolescents can 't be ignored any more.
