Following the resumption of classes from Secondary 3 to Secondary 5 last month, Primary 4 to Secondary 2 are also officially resumed today (8th), but it is still unknown when cross-border primary students can actually return to Hong Kong for classes.

During the suspension period, many schools replaced the face-to-face courses online, and Xingde School in Tuen Mun was no exception. However, about 20% of the students in the school had little study due to network problems. In addition, about 20% of the students in the school were cross-border Students, but it has not been decided when the cross-border students in elementary school can return to school. The principal of the school, Lai Ziwen, revealed that in order to facilitate follow-up students’ learning, the teaching team came up with "special moves". "Cross-border" re-classes, local students are taught by a teacher face-to-face, and cross-border students are continued online teaching by another teacher at the same time through the school network in real time, if cross-border students can return to Hong Kong for classes in the future, cross-border Students will also "make their own classes" to match their learning progress.

Before the summer vacation, the school will conduct a non-scoring test to assess the student's learning situation and use it as the basis for the next school year.

The outbreak of the epidemic killed all schools in Hong Kong by surprise. The principal of Xingde School Lai Ziwen recalled that after many attempts at the beginning of the suspension, parents, students and teachers decided to use the school's homepage without "over the wall" in the Mainland and local students without downloading the program as the main platform for non-stop classes. Worksheets, notes, real-time classroom links, teaching videos, and real-time classroom videos are all available on the school network.

During the suspension, about 20% of the students hardly studied due to network problems

It is difficult to ensure that all students can attend classes on time and progress according to their progress. Lai Ziwen revealed that more than 60% of the school’s students are attending real-time classes according to the schedule, but he estimates that about 20% of the students have little learning during the suspension due to reasons such as laziness or poor Internet reception. There is a gap in the classroom. It is estimated that the overall progress of students is only about 60% of the original.

Lai Ziwen said that in order to facilitate the teaching arrangements, the teacher worked together to come up with a "special trick" and decided to make a special "class placement" for the whole school students. The class was divided into classes according to local and cross-border students. When students resume face-to-face classes, cross-border students who cannot return to Hong Kong without quarantine can resume e-learning in real time. On the one hand, it is convenient for teachers to support cross-border students or arrange supplementary lessons; on the other hand, it prevents students from missing classes and makes the teaching progress vary too much.

A non-scoring subject test will be set up as the basis for class allocation for the next school year

. Before the end of the school year, the school will conduct a non-scoring subject test to understand the student’s learning situation and use it as the basis for class allocation for the next school year: "If the assessment shows The whole is slow. I’m not in a hurry. I don’t want the teacher to finish teaching after the duckback. Even if the individual students are slow and there are differences in learning, we will have special support to arrange supplementary lessons."

He pointed out that the school will postpone the summer vacation for two weeks. Eventually, the courses that have not been completed this school year will be extended to the next school year. As for the Primary Five submission test, it will be scheduled for the end of September to allow students more time to prepare.

Xingde School renamed "Yuanxuan College Chen Guochao Xingde Primary School" Principal: Starting at the level of direct investment

Xingde School changed its name to "Yuanxuan College Chen Guochao Xingde Primary School"

Xingde School was exposed to a number of school issues in 2017. After taking over as principal, Xiao Lishan failed to quell the dispute over teacher factions, and finally resigned because of involvement in the scandal. Last year, Lai Ziwen, former chairman of the subsidized primary school principals committee, finally took over as the principal of Xingde.

Recalling his work in Xingde in the past six months, Lai Ziwen "rehabilitated" the teachers in the school at least twice during his visit. He emphasized that "there is basically no major change in the teacher's class, they have the heart and ability, but the morale is poor before," he I am grateful to the teacher for my dedication during the epidemic. I am still busy with e-learning and still willing to re-arrange the students.

He revealed that the Education Bureau had earlier been allowed to change the name of Xingde. In the 2020/21 school year, Xingde will be named "Yuanxuan College Chen Guochao Xingde Primary School", and the school uniform and school badge will also have a new look. (See separate draft for details)
