A Reflectionon the Extensive Opening of Calligraphy Course in Primary and Middle Schools

It is a great deed that education ministry requires that the calligraphy course be opened extensively in primary and middle schools. Without doubt, it will face some problems, as lack of teachers, unexpected effect due to shortage of corresponding conditions and standards, and coordination with other courses. To solve such problems, the educational departments in charge and schools should enhance their cooperation, the training of social calligraphers whose posts are to be transferred and who are to be employed. Further, the department of teaching research should strengthen their study of calligraphy education, universities should open such major-aided courses, the education administrations should enhance the supervision and attach more importance to calligraphy in primary and middle schools as well.
