Pastoral Courses: Course Development of Changlong Primary School in Hainan

Walking into the campus of Changlong Primary School in Qifang Town, Baisha Li Autonomous County, Hainan Province (referred to as “Baisha County”), the first thing that catches your eye is not a teaching building or a playground but a piece of vegetable fields—beans, eggplants, melons, and fruits. The fields are divided into different shapes. Children learn arithmetic, writing, painting, singing, etc., accompanied by crops in the vegetable field. This situation may be completely different from what the primary school is expected to look like. However, this is a rural land that genuinely belongs to local children. Children play, grow, and learn knowledge here.
