Last update date: 2020-04-28 18:18Under the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, classes have been suspended in Hong Kong for a long time. The Education Bureau has been in close contact with the primary and secondary schools to discuss arrangements for resumption of classes. After meeting with representatives of primary school principals earlier, the Education Bureau will meet with principals of secondary schools today (28th).
According to sources, the preliminary agreement between the Bureau and the academic community will not resume classes before the end of the DSE exam period. Because the Bureau has promised to announce two to three weeks before the resumption of classes, the school will prepare for it. It is expected that the Bureau will be the fastest or next week The schedule for the resumption of classes was announced in China; the news also pointed out that although the Bureau did not "make a copy" of the actual resumption of classes and details, the last examination day of DSE (tourism and hospitality) was May 25, and the fastest resumption day was estimated to be May 26th. In addition, due to the need to choose subjects for Secondary Three, many secondary school principals hope that Secondary Three students can also give priority to resumption of classes. Therefore, it is not excluded that Secondary Three also has the opportunity to become the first batch of students to resume classes like Secondary Four and Secondary Five students.

The resumption of classes is not necessarily "Monday" or May 26 or 27
The Secretary for Education, Yang Runxiong, disclosed earlier that he tends to resume classes in high school first, and to avoid lunch during the first half of the day. The source pointed out that although the academic community is nervous and the students are safe, but the class has been suspended for a long time, it is generally expected to resume classes as soon as possible. "Considering the safety of students, (half-day) is not perfect and acceptable", and the day of resumption may not be "Monday" There is a chance that after the DSE completed the assessment, that is, May 26 or 27.
The source said that due to the different circumstances of each school, it will take time to adjust the manpower and teaching arrangements. Therefore, when meeting today, some school principals hope that the bureau will explain the anti-epidemic requirements simultaneously when the school resumes classes. Half? Is it only possible for the first half of the day? Can the sports hall be used? "He gave an example. Some schools have 30 to 40 students per class, or they need to arrange to take turns on the number and double rotation of the school number. .
The Education Bureau has initially consulted primary and secondary schools are seeking expert advice
In addition, the source pointed out that the preliminary consensus is that S4 and 5 should be resumed first, but many school principals strive to allow S3 students who need to choose subjects to resume classes first. "Before choosing a subject, the school will want to do tutoring. Some schools may want to take an exam or evaluate to collect data. Only the subjects are selected. "Dai Dezheng, chairman of the Wan Chai District Principals’ Association and principal of the Anglican Church Deng 𦘦 Jian Jian, also stated that the choice of Secondary Three affects the HKDSE and the future arrangements for students. The early resumption of classes will allow the school more time to prepare.
Sources estimate that after initial consultation with the primary and secondary schools, the Education Bureau now needs time to consult with experts to determine guidelines for schools to reference. In addition, the epidemic situation has variables at any time, so it is expected that the official resume date will be announced in the middle of next week.

In addition, the source revealed that during the meeting, some principals hoped that the Education Bureau would consider adjusting the school-based assessment arrangements for the 2021 diploma exam. "There is always no school for more than half of the semester. Will there be time for SBA to follow?" Mainly, there was no staff from the Evaluation Bureau, so there was no plan.
Zhu Weilin: should be abolished before in a Hong Kong Attainment Test, fifth test was divided piecemeal six test
There are many cross-border students in primary schools in the North District, and many parents worry that the exchange of personnel between the two places will increase the risk of outbreaks. Zhu Weilin, vice chairman of the New Territories President ’s Association and principal of Fengxi No. 1 Primary School, said that cross-border students live in Shenzhen, and the epidemic situation is stable near Hong Kong and Shenzhen. He believes that he can prepare for resumption of classes, but he bluntly resumed classes in stages, even in June During the resumption of class, students need time to adjust their body and mind and adapt to the class. "At least one week is required for students to re-enter normal learning." Students with low social economic areas and weak family support obviously need to catch up with the progress. Hurrying will be unfair to the grassroots students.
In addition, he believes that the epidemic has not yet been completely controlled. He is worried about the confirmed cases after the resumption of classes in individual primary schools. "If a school has a confirmed case to be suspended, what will the school do?" He suggested that the Hong Kong Government transfer the Primary Five submission test to Primary Six and cancel the pre-School Hong Kong Subject Test scheduled for July 14th. "This year, Primary Six students have significantly reduced class time, and the exam will affect next year. Primary six is unfair. "
