China News Service, February 25th. According to the Hong Kong Wenhui website, affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the Hong Kong Education Bureau announced that all schools had been suspended until no later than March 16. The Hong Kong Education Bureau and the Evaluation and Evaluation Bureau held a press conference this afternoon. The director of the Education Bureau, Yang Runxiong, said that as the epidemic situation did not show signs of decline, school suspension arrangements would be further extended until the end of the Easter holiday, that is, the earliest school in Hong Kong would be on April 20. Resume class.
Yang Runxiong said that the actual resumption date needs to be further evaluated. For the time being, it is inclined to resume the course in stages, and the school will be notified as soon as possible.
He pointed out that he understands that students want to return to school as soon as possible, and some parents are also worried that their children's studies will be affected, so it is a very difficult decision to extend the suspension. However, both WHO and virus experts believe that the epidemic will last for some time, so continuing suspension of classes is currently the safest and most healthy decision for students. I hope everyone understands.
Yang Runxiong also pointed out that understanding home study cannot completely replace classroom learning. Therefore, after the resumption, the school will appropriately adjust the teaching arrangements, including reorganization activities and make-up lessons, and strive to maintain the student's learning progress. The Hong Kong Education Bureau believes that schools do not need to change their summer arrangements in principle.
