课桌椅有了新国标 如何让孩子们午休时“躺平”

Core Viewpoint - The introduction of a national standard for "nap desks and chairs" for primary and secondary school students aims to improve the comfort, safety, and durability of these furniture items, transitioning from "lying down" to "sitting" for naps [2][5]. Summary by Sections National Standards - The State Administration for Market Regulation has approved the national standard GB/T46016-2025 for nap desks and chairs, which will be implemented on February 1, 2026 [2]. - The standard is designed based on the physical development characteristics of students, covering the entire process from design to production and inspection [2]. Current Issues with Nap Practices - Many students currently have to nap in a prone position on their desks, leading to discomfort and potential health issues such as neck pain and poor posture [3][4]. - A survey indicated that 32.4% of parents reported their children do not meet the recommended sleep duration, highlighting the importance of quality naps for students [6]. Transition to New Furniture - Some schools, like the Henan Kaifeng Technology Media College Affiliated Primary School, have successfully implemented new nap desks and chairs that allow students to lie down comfortably [5]. - The principal noted that this transition has improved students' health and learning efficiency, especially for younger students [5]. Challenges in Implementation - The cost of new nap desks and chairs is around 1,000 yuan, which poses a financial burden for schools with tight budgets [7]. - The current classroom sizes and student numbers make it difficult to accommodate the new furniture, as the standard class sizes are based on regulations from over a decade ago [8]. - The design requirements for the new furniture necessitate adequate space, which is often lacking in classrooms with high student numbers [8].
