Rong Haien, a member of the Legislative Council of the New Democratic Party, said on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Letter to Hong Kong" that under the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, it is difficult for grass-roots students to study at home, resulting in unfairness. It is recommended that Internet providers provide free Internet services to poor families.

Rong Haien pointed out that the social and economic activities under the epidemic are greatly affected, and the government expects the unemployment rate to rise. Different families are facing economic difficulties. The anti-epidemic and anti-epidemic fund launched earlier did not help free workers and unemployed people. The government should try to fill it. The government said it would relax the CSSA asset limit, but Rong said that CSSA generally helps disadvantaged groups, not people who are temporarily unemployed, and even if it is relaxed, CSSA still has certain assets and income restrictions.

Ten thousand yuan was sent to apply for Rong Haien in July: too late

The government announced earlier that it would send 10,000 yuan to adult permanent residents as "life-saving money", but the application can only be started as soon as July this year. Rong Haien also thinks that it is too late, even a little delay may cause People in need do not receive timely support and request further streamlining.

Under the epidemic, more students need to study online at home. Rong Haien pointed out that poor and grass-roots students, due to family economic conditions, have difficulty accessing the Internet, which brings another kind of inequality. She suggested that network providers should provide free Internet services to families with difficulties in connecting to the Internet at the grass-roots level and in residence, to ensure that children have a fair learning environment. The government should also use radio and television to broadcast and share learning information in the short term.

It is recommended that the government push emergency assistance to provide support to caregivers

In addition, many parents increase the chance of friction with their children because their children have to stay at home to study. Those who work from home have to take care of their children at the same time, and those who go to work are more likely to be forced to risk leaving their children alone. She suggested that the government implement emergency response plans, such as providing caregiver support and 24-hour consultation services. Non-governmental organizations and social workers can also play a more active role.
