儿童青少年总体近视率下降

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年全国儿童青少年总体近视率为52.7%。2020年，受新冠肺炎疫情影响，学校转而开设远程教学，学生居家进行在线学习，因此总体近视率较2019年上升了2.5个百分点。但较2018年仍下降0.9个百分点，基本实现了2018年印发的《综合防控儿童青少年近视实施方案》近视率每年下降0.5个百分点的防控目标。

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》还提出了到2030年，小学生近视率下降到38%以下，初中生近视率下降到60%以下，高中阶段学生近视率下降到70%以下等目标。
