Many schools in Hunan have issued notices to postpone the start of school to ensure the safety of teachers and students. The Hunan Provincial Meteorological Observatory predicted that due to the eastward movement of the upper-altitude trough and the strong cold air on the ground, there would be freezing rain in parts of northern and central Hunan during the day on the 21st.
Hunan Vocational and Technical College of Posts and Telecommunications issued a notice on adjusting the start time of the spring semester in 2024. The Yiyang Municipal Education Bureau informed that all types of schools (except for senior high school students who are already reviewing in school) and other grades will be postponed to February 28.
