The epidemic of new coronaviruses continues, and there have been confirmed cases involving tutoring clubs recently. The Education Bureau recently recommended that tutoring schools suspend face-to-face courses for two weeks starting from yesterday (15th). The operation of the private education industry is facing challenges.
The suspension guidelines are not clear Su Dixi: confusing the regular day school
Su Dixi, a spokesman for the Education Center Alliance, mentioned that the government’s guidelines for suspension arrangements are confusing and questioned the authorities’ confusing the suspension arrangements for regular day schools and cram schools. No clear guidance was given to education centres or tutorial schools. Consult the industry and believe that its arrangements do not respect the private education community.
He also pointed out that the Center for Health Protection earlier stated that the tutoring society is a high-risk location, but he believes that most education centers in the industry have taken adequate anti-epidemic measures, and that there is no group infection in the tutoring society; many types of premises are only closed for 7 days. But it is not fair for the education center to close for 14 days.

The Education League also expects that the suspension of classes will trigger a new round of closure of education centers, and Su Dixi even described the situation as worse for the industry. He mentioned that about 30 days after the suspension of classes, about 30% of the education centers have been affected to be closed. It is expected that the impact on the industry will be even greater in the future.
Mr. Huang, the person in charge of the music school, pointed out that the industry "hands stop and stop". Some tutors learned that the suspension of the class was even more worried about income. They also thought that all walks of life received government subsidies. However, the professional tutors have been ignored for many years. . The owner of the STEM interest class also pointed out that the suspension of classes greatly affected his income, but the rent did not decrease, one of the education centers closed down, and the number of students and tutors also greatly reduced. "Do not live hard."
