Primary and secondary schools and kindergartens will resume classes in stages starting today (23rd). The students of Form 1, Form 5 and Form 6 of Wu Shaomei Secondary School of the Catholic Charity for Children will return to school this morning. However, several students are stranded in Pakistan or the Mainland due to the epidemic. Or they are undergoing quarantine in Hong Kong, so they cannot return to school today.
The school has filmed teaching videos for them and mailed learning resources so that they can continue to study at home.
The school’s new immigrants from the Mainland account for about one-third of all students, and the proportion of Mainland students at individual levels is as high as 80% to 90%; however, only about 10% of the freshmen this year are new immigrants from the Mainland.
Some teachers infer that this situation may be related to social events and the epidemic.
Teacher Wu Jiaen, the head of the Chinese Department in charge of the admission of Secondary One students, said that non-Chinese students accounted for one-third of the school's students, and nine of them were Pakistani.
New immigrants from the mainland also account for one-third, and the proportion of mainland students at individual levels is as high as 80 to 90%. However, only about 10% of the new students this year are new immigrants from the mainland.
She inferred that this situation may be related to social events and the epidemic, and said that some parents had expressed concern to her.
She pointed out that this year's secondary level is divided into three classes, each with more than ten students. However, the principal Li Jianwen said that this year's admission of fewer students has turned into an advantage and it is easier for students to maintain social distance.

Wu Jiaen continued that due to the epidemic and air ticket problems, several students were stranded in Pakistan or China; or were undergoing quarantine in Hong Kong, and therefore could not return to school today.
The school has filmed teaching videos for them and mailed learning resources so that they can continue to study at home.
In addition, a few non-Chinese students have revealed to the school that they may not return to Hong Kong this year, and the school needs to make other arrangements for these cases.

Except for the three grades that resumed classes today, some students have unsatisfactory family conditions and were arranged to go back to school to take care of them and go to the computer room for class or rest during class time.
This morning, Chen of Form 3 was responsible for "checking" by the school gate. He observed through the computer screen whether the students entering the campus had a fever, and reminded them to use the alcohol handrub provided by the school.
