Last update date: 2020-05-08 12:40The outbreak of new pneumonia in Hong Kong has eased. The Hong Kong government announced that primary and secondary schools and kindergartens will resume classes in stages starting from the 27th of this month. However, it is still unknown whether 27,000 cross-border students can resume classes as scheduled. The Hong Kong government intends to exempt the 14-day compulsory quarantine arrangement for cross-border students, but there is no similar exempt quarantine arrangement in the Mainland, and currently the only Shenzhen Bay port that allows passengers to travel between the two places, the service time is 10 to 8, which is more than the average school time late.
The Legislative Council Panel on Education held a meeting today (8th). Many Members were concerned about the arrangements for the resumption of cross-border students. The Secretary for Education, Yang Runxiong, who attended the meeting, bluntly stated that the problem of cross-border students is complicated. The two governments are still in the discussion stage and dare not agree. There may be a treatment plan before the resumption of classes on May 27.
Yang Runxiong described that the problem of cross-border students is complicated, involving the epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic policies of the two places, and involving multiple departments such as health and port. Currently, the Hong Kong government is still discussing with Shenzhen authorities on related matters, frankly "it is impossible to cause 27,000 cross-border students To prevent other Hong Kong students from returning to class. "
The exemption of compulsory quarantine arrangements for cross-border students must consider the risks and actual operational arrangements. He bluntly did not dare to promise that the issue of cross-border students clearance will be handled before the resumption of classes on May 27. For example, he pointed out that the only customs clearance at the Shenzhen Bay Port is to start service at 10 am, and cross-border students cannot return to school in time for class, so cross-border students need other packages to resume classes. He revealed that next week he will meet with the principals of schools with more cross-border students to discuss the plan for resuming classes in case cross-border students fail.
