[15:30] Do I have to follow the online lesson guidelines issued by the Education Bureau?
Will DSE Liberal Studies cancel IES scoring?
Revision of the General Studies?
Yang Runxiong pointed out that the relevant guidelines are a summary of experience. They are only formal and include flexibility. "Kindergarten students are not good at computers and lithography for a long time," but short-term online lessons are acceptable for teachers and students.
The DSE needs to be adjusted, but the content needs to be judged by the Examination and Assessment Bureau. It needs to consider fairness, credibility, actual conditions and opinions from sectors. The final decision has different effects on different students and will take into account the needs of all aspects.
I hope the Appraisal Bureau will announce it as soon as possible.
There are many reports on general education. Whether the content of the current textbooks is flat, comprehensive, and compatible with the purpose and purpose of the course, there was no professional consultation before, and it was difficult to compare each other, but the content needs to be continuously improved.
For example, the content of June 4th, some books have, some books do not, different publishers have flexibility, and the authorities have no relevant regulations. Regarding facts, he said that there is no separation of powers in Hong Kong, and it must be clearly reflected in textbooks regardless of whether it is around 1997.

[15:26] Can I make up half-day lessons in the afternoon?
How long will the half-day class schedule last?
Does the pre-return to school on September 16 include kindergartens, Class N, and the remaining elementary-level classes?
Yang Runxiong pointed out that the half-time system aims to reduce the number of students taking off masks for lunch. Whether to resume full-time or not depends on the epidemic, and how to ensure lunch arrangements.
He also pointed out that under special circumstances, you can consider making up classes in the afternoon, but you need to discuss with the Education Bureau how to arrange lunch.
As for some schools reporting that they will go home in the afternoon to take online lessons and have lunch at home, he thinks this approach is not a problem at all.
As for the arrangement of online classes for cross-border students, it will be handled by the school.
[15:22] What should I do if a school student is diagnosed after the face-to-face teaching is resumed?
Will schools be required to submit the number of teachers who have tested the population?
Yang Runxiong said bluntly that the epidemic is not expected to disappear within a short period of time. If there is an infection in the school, the Education Bureau will communicate with the Health Protection Center, and classes will usually be suspended for several days for cleaning.
In the future, we will try our best to discuss the handling methods with the Centre for Health Protection and announce them in the guidelines, including how to deal with the handling and arrangements where teachers, parents or students are in close contact.
He emphasized that national testing is voluntary. The Education Bureau will not require schools to provide the number of teachers participating in the national testing program, but schools have the right to ask teachers if they have participated.
He also pointed out that it is difficult to arrange testing at individual schools in the short term. At this stage, we do not agree to go back to school and gather together. We will discuss with schools in the long run.
[15:18] Asked if there are guidelines that can only take 35 minutes per session, and whether the online class at the same time will cause network congestion, Yang Runxiong said that the school can handle it appropriately. Although a 35-minute online class is scheduled, it can Consider setting a break at 25 minutes, or offline activities.
Yang Runxiong said that the network is difficult to predict, and it is difficult for service providers to ensure 100% that there are no problems. If there are difficulties in a certain period of time, they can make up later and deal with it flexibly.
Encourage teachers, parents, and students to participate in the national testing program to cut off the spread. It is hoped that schools can provide flexibility to allow teachers to participate without affecting normal operations.
[15:15] Many government schools have been selected as national testing centers, and they were asked how the government can ensure that teachers and students will not have cross-infection.
Yang Runxiong pointed out that the community testing center has been reviewed by the Department of Health and the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department and has adequate protective work. It will clean at least twice a day and will also provide adequate protective equipment for the staff. At the same time, it will consider the flow of people and make appointments in batches.
After the incident, the government will also clean up the school on loan. He emphasized that he would not worry about cross-infection.
The national test is up to September 14th at the latest, and on September 16th, schools can arrange activities according to their needs, such as middle school make-up classes or freshman adaptation, or orientation, because the academic community responds that freshmen need more time to adapt and not all schools officially start classes.
[15:11] I was asked if the nationwide testing is carried out by a government school. If I can return to school on September 16, is there enough time for disinfection?
How to prevent cases of unknown origin?
Sub-examination is postponed or cancelled?
Yang Runxiong said that the school still has time to arrange the examinations for students who have progressed to Primary Six this year. The scores can be submitted before October 20. The resumption of the face-to-face class will not affect the above-mentioned sub-examination. s arrangement.
Regarding whether it is appropriate to resume face-to-face instruction, he said that the number of confirmed diagnoses in the past few days has been declining, and the changes in the epidemic are still difficult to grasp. It depends on every citizen in society. It is difficult to say that there will be no rebound. He just said that according to today's situation, there is confidence. Face-to-face instruction will be resumed in late September, and it cannot be ruled out that it will be adjusted due to emergencies.
[15:08] The school will distribute masks to students in need. Regarding cross-border students, Yang Runxiong said that there are multiple considerations involved, and they are discussing with the mainland authorities. If feasible, they will actively coordinate. First, relax the secondary 4-6 high school return. Classes are held in Hong Kong. In addition, Yang Runxiong encourages faculty and staff to participate in the National Testing Program to create better and more favorable conditions for the resumption of classes. He said that as there are still opportunities in the future due to changes in the epidemic, he has invited schools to prepare for the new normal and adjust and flexibly teach at any time.
[15:05] Yang Runxiong pointed out that face-to-face instruction is set up in half-day at the initial stage, and school-wide activities are not allowed. He pointed out that part of the course content must be taught face-to-face, and it is difficult to replace it online. In addition, considering that some grades must make up lessons to recover the progress, so from September 16 , The school may also consider allowing a small number of students to return to school, limited to one-sixth of the school’s students, and only half-time is also available.
Class Resumption｜Yang Runxiong: Face-to-face K3 students can also return to school to resume classes in two stages starting from September 23
[15:02] Yang Runxiong, the director of the Bureau of Education, said that the epidemic has gradually eased, and face-to-face courses can be resumed in stages from September 23. The courses will be carried out in two stages, Form 1, Form 5 and Form 6; Primary 1, Primary 5 and Primary 6 and kindergarten K3 students can also return to school to teach face-to-face classes.
The remaining grades can return to school one after another on September 29.
Yang Runxiong explained that the arrangement takes into account the higher self-care ability of the upper grades,
and
public examinations are required.
Other stakeholders said that Primary One and Secondary One have never set foot on campus and have to adapt to the new learning rules, so the first stage of class is arranged.
