  China News Agency, Hong Kong, May 27 (Reporter Han Xingtong) The new coronary pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong has gradually slowed down, and classes 3 to 5 of secondary schools that have been suspended for about four months will resume on the 27th. A reporter from China News Service learned from many Hong Kong education professionals that the resumption of classes on the first day has started in an orderly manner. The school has made sufficient preparations for the epidemic prevention arrangements, including entering the campus to measure body temperature, widening tables and chairs, etc.

  Earlier, the Education Bureau of the HKSAR Government announced that all schools in Hong Kong would resume classes in stages and in an orderly manner. The first stage (May 27) from S3 to S5; the second stage (June 8) from S1 to S2, P4 to S6; the third stage (June 15) from P1 to S3, kindergarten high class .

  On the first day of class resumption, demonstrators once again called for "three strikes" on the Internet. In the morning, the police intercepted and arrested many people in multiple districts, suspected of possessing tools for illegal purposes and dangerous driving. Huang Jinliang, chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Educators and the principal of Huang Chubiao Middle School, denounced this kind of behavior as "shameful and despicable": "Today it is almost four months after the suspension of classes, but there are still people with ulterior motives who encourage young people not to go to class." In response to such public opinion, Huang Jinliang said that the resumption of classes on the first day was still relatively orderly on the whole, road traffic was generally smooth, and students were able to return to school in time.

  He Hanquan, chairman of the Hong Kong Education Council, also told reporters that as of now, the principals of all schools have reflected that everything is as usual and that they have not been harassed. Many principals greet students at the gate of the school with "love" and "ordinary heart". "Students are very happy to see the principal and teacher, and cherish the opportunity to resume classes."

  In order to ensure the safety of the first batch of students returning to school, Huang Jinliang said that most schools have done various anti-epidemic measures one to two weeks in advance, such as shortening the teaching time to half a day, from 8 am to 1 pm, to avoid students from School lunches cause cross infection; arrange staff to take their temperature outside the school door and provide alcohol hand rub; complete classroom disinfection, widen the tables and chairs to maintain social distance; the school requires teachers and students to wear masks on campus, when teaching It is no exception; batch and diversion measures will be implemented when going to the bathroom and after school.

  Huang Jinliang believes that the school ’s burden after the resumption of classes is “tens of pounds”. “Students are at home for a long time during the epidemic, unable to socialize and study normally, and may have negative emotions and worry about the progress of the study.” Therefore, he believes that the school and staff need to do more work , To ease the emotions for students, and then find ways to help students catch up with the progress of learning as soon as possible.

  He Hanquan understands that some students and parents are worried about the epidemic situation or may cause a drop in grades, but he pointed out that the early teachers were very serious in teaching online and spoke clearly. In most schools, two weeks later will be used as a buffer period to track the progress of the students. He believes that there is no need to worry too much. (Finish)
