Last update date: 2020-04-08 00:36The New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic continues, and the number of confirmed cases in Hong Kong continues to soar. The cumulative number of infections increased to 935 yesterday (7th). The authorities resumed classes in batches on the 20th of the month after the Easter holiday planned by the Central Plains last month. The news indicated that the latest assessment by the government that the class could not be resumed this month would extend the suspension order and have yet to decide when to resume classes.
The Subsidiary Secondary School Council Executive Committee and the principal of Lions Middle School Lin Rifeng said that it is estimated that the Hong Kong government will look at the latest changes in the epidemic depending on the number of people going out during the Easter period and the number of diagnoses. If the HKDSE starts as planned on April 24, the school may have the opportunity to extend the suspension to the end of May to make room for candidates.
According to the Hong Kong Government's earlier plan, all schools in Hong Kong will resume classes in stages on April 20 at the earliest. (Profile picture)
The fifth grade is divided into four exams, academic circles intend to use June 8 as a key day
The 14-day "restriction order" expires at midnight on Saturday (11th), but there are still more than 20 daily confirmed cases in Hong Kong, which has become the main consideration for extending the "restriction order". According to academic sources, on the 20th of this month, the chances of resuming classes in primary and secondary schools are very low. The government decided to extend the suspension of classes. As for the actual resumption of classes, Yang Runxiong, the Secretary for Education, must decide.
It is understood that the primary school sector is collecting principals' opinions to decide whether to set a "deadline" for the Primary Five submission test. Some people suggested that June 8 should be used as the boundary. If the class is resumed on or after that day, it is recommended to cancel this year's Primary Five Sub-test. According to the news, the principal must reply by noon tomorrow (9th) at the latest. If the resolution is passed, the principal's representative will formally submit comments to the Education Bureau.
Education Bureau aims to start the DSE exam as scheduled this month
President Lin Rifeng estimates that the Education Bureau has not yet announced whether to extend the suspension, hoping to give priority to DSE students. He explained that due to the epidemic situation, the examination space of the HKDSE examination room must be widened. If the HKDSE examination starts on the 24th of this month, multiple schools must reserve more space to separate the candidates. Delaying the resumption of classes can facilitate school arrangements. He estimated that the Hong Kong government will make further decisions depending on the changes in the outbreak and the number of people diagnosed during the Easter holiday.
Yang Runxiong, director of the Education Bureau, revealed in his blog yesterday (7th) that after the meeting between the Education Bureau, the Evaluation Bureau and the representatives of university seniors and high school principals, they all hope to complete the diploma exam within a safe range. At the same time, a backup plan will be formulated, such as further delaying the diploma exam, but "if the severe epidemic situation continues to prevent the diploma exam from being held safely, cancellation is the only alternative."

Principal input cases will be greatly reduced
President Lin Rifeng believes that with the "closures" in many places, it is believed that the return of overseas citizens and international students to Hong Kong is coming to an end. It is estimated that the number of imported cases will be greatly reduced; Limited, he urged the authorities to make an announcement early after the Easter leave to prepare candidates for psychological preparation. "After repeated delays, candidates have a lot of mental pressure. If they continue to postpone the exam, the crisis may not be reduced. Instead, there are too many questions to think about. Is it fair? What about university admission? "
He bluntly stated that there are many potential problems caused by delaying or even cancelling the HKDSE, and the academic circles have different opinions. He hopes that the authorities will hold the exam as much as possible and refer to the experience of the HKU School of Medicine in organizing the internal school test earlier. Disinfecting carry-on luggage and carpets, requesting the test site to strengthen toilet cleaning before and after breaks, etc. He also called on the public to avoid going out on Easter leave and work hard to fight the epidemic.
