Beijing News (Reporter Fang Yijun) On the morning of March 17, the Beijing Municipal Education Commission responded to the opening hours of Beijing's primary and secondary schools: Judging from the current epidemic situation in Beijing, large-scale crowd gathering is still not supported. Therefore, it is still not the time to consider when to start the school, and the specific time point has not yet been specified.

Yesterday (March 16), some students in Guizhou, Xinjiang and other places officially started school. Yunnan, Shanxi and other places have also announced the start of school. Regarding the timetable and arrangements for the start of school in Beijing, the Beijing Municipal Education and Work Committee and the Municipal Education Committee will announce to the society as soon as possible, and the announcement time will be reserved in advance to allow schools, teachers, parents, and children to fully prepare.

The Beijing Municipal Education Commission reminds you not to listen to rumors, and it is not recommended to speculate on the specific start time, but to further arrange study, work and life according to the official start time published by the official authority.

For college students, Beijing still requires "not leaving home and not returning to school", doing home-based online learning, and maintaining close contact with our school counselors and teachers. The Beijing Municipal Education Commission emphasizes that if there are special circumstances that require returning to Beijing or school, both students and faculty and staff must strictly observe the unified requirements of Beijing for 14 days at home or in isolation.

For elementary and middle school students and kindergarten children, they should pay attention to their learning and living conditions. As the weather warms, parents should take more physical exercises with their children. Provided that conditions permit and ensure safety, parents and children can go outdoors to get more sun, breathe more fresh air, and exercise appropriately.

According to the Beijing Municipal Education Commission, based on the experience and characteristics of the previous stage, Beijing will further adjust and optimize the form and content of home study and living in the next stage.
