Abstract: To enhance the development of organic chemistry courses in higher education institutions and continually improve the quality of instruction, the National Instructional Committee of Chemistry for Higher Education commissioned a comprehensive survey focusing on the class hours and teaching content of organic chemistry courses within chemistry programs. This paper analyzes, compares, and summarizes the survey results, identifies several challenges in the current teaching practices of organic chemistry, and offers recommendations for optimizing the course content.
