China News Service, May 14th, Lu Yugang, director of the Department of Basic Education of the Ministry of Education, said on the 14th that the Ministry of Education requires that all localities give priority to starting training institutions for repeaters and art candidates who take the college entrance examination when they start classes outside the school. And, referring to the prevention and control standards of primary and secondary schools, the training institution applies for and signs a safety commitment, and the class can only be started after the local education department and the epidemic prevention and control department have passed the acceptance.
The Ministry of Education held a press conference on the 14th to introduce the situation of online education in primary and secondary schools during the epidemic and the consideration of the next step.
A reporter asked: Now the third grade of high school has started in various places, but the same group who is facing the college entrance examination is repeaters. They are still waiting because most of the schools they are attending belong to off-campus training institutions. At present, there are some provinces that have trained outside the school. The institution has made clear arrangements for the resumption of classes, but there are still more than a dozen provinces that are not particularly clear. Less than two months before the college entrance examination, students and parents are very anxious. Has the Ministry of Education paid attention to and arranged this group's appeal?
Lu Yugang said that the Ministry of Education insists on putting epidemic prevention and control in the first place, and on the basis of guiding the scientific and prudent local schools to do a good job in the peak and middle school of the primary and secondary schools, it also guides the localities to coordinate the arrangement of training courses for offline training institutions within the province. The Ministry of Education has paid close attention to the issues of college entrance examination repeaters, as well as the college entrance examination and arts candidates who need to go to social training institutions to participate in the training. Some people in the society have also put forward some suggestions to the Ministry of Education. In this regard, the Ministry of Education conducted a serious study and issued a notice last month to address this issue. Local governments are required to give priority to start repeaters for college entrance examinations when they start classes outside of school training institutions. The training institutions of art candidates start classes, and refer to the prevention and control standards of primary and secondary schools. The training institutions apply for and sign safety commitments, and the classes can only be started after the local education department and the epidemic prevention and control department have passed the acceptance.
Lv Yugang revealed that as of May 13th, 21 provinces across the country have started classes for college entrance examination repeaters training institutions, and 7 provinces are also actively conducting scientific research and judgments in conjunction with epidemic prevention and control to make relevant preparations. The Ministry of Education will further guide all localities to do a good job in this regard.
