Last update date: 2020-07-10 13:19The third wave of the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic broke out. Many schools in Hong Kong had students or their parents diagnosed and successively announced the suspension of classes. It is understood that the Education Bureau will announce the suspension of classes in all schools in Hong Kong later today (10th).
Deng Zhenqiang, chairman of the secondary school principals' meeting, said that the health of students is always the first consideration, and the education sector has had enough experience in the past few months to fight the epidemic. Most middle schools, especially high school grades, had already arranged summer make-up classes for students, but the current plan is to catch up with the changes in the epidemic and instead teach online.
The Hong Kong Federation of Educators said that the authorities’ guidelines did not detail how schools should deal with them under different circumstances, which could easily cause confusion and put pressure on staff.

It is understood that the Education Bureau will announce the suspension of classes in all schools in Hong Kong. Deng Zhenqiang, chairman of the presidential council of secondary schools, said that the epidemic has developed rapidly. The government is trusted to have the latest information and the corresponding measures have been introduced. The industry will fully cooperate with the decision to suspend classes. Asked whether it was too late to decide to suspend classes today, Deng said that he did not have much information about the epidemic situation than the government, making it difficult to comment.
He continued that the health of students is always the primary consideration, and the education sector has had enough experience in the past few months to deal with the epidemic, such as teaching online. As for the impact of suspension on learning, he said that most middle schools, especially the senior high school grades, had already arranged summer make-up classes for students. The current plan is to catch up with the changes in the epidemic and switch to online courses.

The Hong Kong Federation of Educational Workers issued a statement this morning, stating that the guidelines of the authorities did not specify how schools should be handled in different situations, which not only affected the operation of schools but also caused confusion. The association has received reports from many schools that it has recently received a large number of enquiries from parents, which inevitably put pressure on the teaching staff. The Education Federation strongly urges the Education Bureau and the Center for Health Protection to adopt a responsible attitude, focusing on the health of teachers and students to prevent the rapid spread of the epidemic. At the same time, schools are allowed to arrange online learning according to their learning needs.
