[Global Network Reporter Yin Yanhui] According to Hong Kong's "Dongwang" and other Hong Kong media sources, Yang Runxiong, director of the Hong Kong Education Bureau, announced at a press conference at noon today (20th) that the epidemic situation has not been controlled yet. International schools and kindergartens in the new school year will not start earlier than August 17 this year. Schools will be given two weeks to prepare for the start of the school. In the new school year, only cross-border students from Secondary 4 to 6 will be arranged to return to Hong Kong for classes.
Yang Runxiong said that it is difficult for students of Secondary Three or below to arrange to return to Hong Kong for classes. The Education Bureau will discuss with the school the arrangements for home study and provide appropriate support.
In addition, the secondary school diploma exam will be released on the 22nd. Yang Runxiong said that the arrangement of the list should take into account the safety of students. The first thing is to announce the results online, but I understand that some students need to provide on-site counseling when they list. If some or most of the students in the school need to return to the school for guidance, he also hopes that the school can make arrangements in advance so that the students can return to the school at different times to receive the results.
