A programme launched in China to teach traditional Peking Opera in schools has drawn criticism from some Internet users who said untrained teachers and forced instruction might put off students from the 200-year-old art. Classic Peking Opera items will be added to the music curriculum in 200 schools across 10 provinces in China to promote traditional culture among its younger generation, The Beijing News said."The aim of this programme is to help the children to develop an interest in the nation's unique cultural treasures," the paper quoted Wang Jun, a culture official in Beijing's education bureau, as saying.

In media commentaries, people questioned how music teachers, themselves untrained in Peking Opera, would educate students in the complex gestures and trilling vocals that characterise the art. Only 27 percent of some 21,000 respondents to an opinion poll carried by popular web portal Sina.com, believed the course would help promote traditional Chinese culture."If the students are forced to learn, it might backfire and make them totally lose interest," said a post by an Internet user.

A plan to introduce compulsory dance classes aimed at improving primary and high school children's social skills and fitness, drew fire from some parents concerned. The waltz and other ballroom steps might foster puppy love between their children and dance partners.

京剧进校园，还不如开国学课呢。

　　在中国发起的一项传统京剧进课堂的计划遭到了一些网民的批评，他们说没有受过培训的教师和强制性的指令会使学生反感这门有二百年历史的艺术。据《新京报》报道，在中国十个省市的二百所学校的音乐课程中，将增加经典的京剧选段，以便在年轻一代中加强传统文化教育。“该项计划的目的是培养孩子们对国粹的兴趣，”该报援引北京市教委的文化官员王军的话说。

　　媒体评论说：人们质疑，音乐教师本身没有接受过京剧教育，如何能够教授学生复杂的身段和抑扬顿挫的唱腔呢？而这些都是京剧的特色。在大众门户网站新浪网的民意调查中，约21，000名参与者中只有27%认为这一课程有助于弘扬中国传统文化。“如果强迫学生学习，可能会适得其反，令他们彻底丧失兴趣，”一位网友发帖说。

　　一项提倡舞蹈成为必修课的计划——旨在提高中小学学生社交技巧和塑造形体——曾引发过一些家长的争议，他们担心华尔兹和其他的交谊舞可能会在他们的孩子和舞伴之间引发早恋。
