>Myopia rate falls by 0.9%
兒童青少年總體近視率下降
The prevalence of myopia among Chinese children and teenagers was 52.7% in 2020, a decrease of 0.9 percentage points from 2018, the Ministry of Education said Tuesday. The myopia rate in 2020 was 2.5 percentage points higher than the 2019 level, as schools shifted classes online and students had to study at home due to the COVID-19 epidemic. According to the ministry, this decline has basically met the annual target of reducing the myopia rate by 0.5 percentage points stipulated in a 2018 plan.
教育部10月26日表示，2020年全國兒童青少年總體近視率為52.7%。2020年，受新冠肺炎疫情影響，學校轉而開設遠端教學，學生居家進行線上學習，因此總體近視率較2019年上升了2.5個百分點。但較2018年仍下降0.9個百分點，基本實現了2018年印發的《綜合防控兒童青少年近視實施方案》近視率每年下降0.5個百分點的防控目標。
The plan also set forth a series of targets including reducing the myopia rate among primary, middle and high school students to less than 38%, 60% and 70% by 2030, respectively.
《方案》還提出了到2030年，小學生近視率下降到38%以下，初中生近視率下降到60%以下，高中階段學生近視率下降到70%以下等目標。
