Tsinghua University has determined that the winter vacation for undergraduates is from January 11 to February 21. This year's winter vacation is one week earlier than previous years.
It is reported that all colleges and universities are now entering the examination week, and students have left school after the examination.
Xiao Chen, a fifth-grade elementary school student in Xicheng District, Beijing, is very happy because the winter vacation will arrive two weeks in advance.
Although it’s a bit regretful to have a hot spring trip during the winter vacation; but because of the epidemic, my mother does not plan to let her attend training classes, “if there are no online classes, it would be better”.
In accordance with the requirements of the "Notice on Seriously Doing a Good Job in Preventing and Controlling Epidemics in Colleges and Universities Before and After the Winter Holidays" issued by the Ministry of Education, localities and colleges and universities, in accordance with the unified arrangements of the local party committee and government, adhere to the overall planning of the provincial education administrative department, and according to the epidemic situation and the progress of education and teaching Adjust measures to local conditions and school conditions, optimize and adjust winter vacation time, and arrange for students to leave school in batches and orderly.

Xiao Yan's classmate is from Xinjiang, but hesitated whether to go home for the New Year because of the long journey, and he was worried about the risks of traveling back and forth.
Although the requirements of different regions are different, reducing the flow of people, reducing travel risks, and reducing the gathering of people are the overall prevention and control requirements.
Beijing, Shanghai, Ningxia, Shandong, Henan, Anhui, Hubei, Hebei and other places have all issued the "unnecessary not to return home during the Spring Festival" initiative.
The outbound journey has not been determined, and the return journey is unknown.
Although all colleges and universities have determined the start time, the specific implementation will depend on the situation of epidemic prevention and control.
The Ministry of Education has requested a staggered arrangement for the spring semester to start and return to school.
All localities and colleges and universities should reduce gatherings as much as possible in accordance with the local epidemic situation and the principle of peak staggering, accurately plan the start of the 2021 spring semester, and make preparations for the start of school.
Fortunately, China already has the experience of the largest number of students returning to school last September.
The school start time should avoid the peak of the Spring Festival travel season, avoid the superposition of "student flow" and "family visits" and "work flow", avoid intensive school opening at the same time, open up the "time difference" of school opening, and orderly return to school in batches has been set, only hope for students Go back safely.
