School children in Hong Kong are under great pressure, which is even more pronounced under the epidemic.

The Chinese University of Hong Kong today (7th) released the results of the Hong Kong main test study of the "School Children's Physical and Mental Health Assessment Project" and found that students’ satisfaction with life is only 6.97 points (the highest score is 10 points).

The higher the socioeconomic status of the family, the higher the life satisfaction of school children, reaching 7.47 points, which is more than one point higher than the lowest group.

He Ruizhu, director of the Hong Kong Student Abilities International Assessment Center of CUHK, infers that under the epidemic, there is an uneven educational environment in home learning. For example, children in subdivided rooms are quite different from those in private rooms, and the social and economic status of families obviously affects their living conditions.

The survey results of the 2020 "School Children's Physical and Mental Health Assessment Program" are released. The students' satisfaction with life is only 6.97 points (the highest score is 10 points), which is lower than the international average of 7.80 points.

The survey was conducted from June to December last year. A total of 21 primary schools and 19 secondary schools were studied. A total of 5,307 valid questionnaires from 11-year-old, 13-year-old and 15-year-old students were collected.

The student’s life satisfaction score is only 6.97 points (the highest score is 10), which is lower than the international average of 7.80 points.

The survey found that the higher the social and economic status of school children in the family, the higher their life satisfaction, reaching 7.47 points, which is more than one point higher than the lowest group, and the difference is very large.

Studying basic education at home cannot make up for the family's deficiency

He Ruizhu pointed out that classes are suspended during the epidemic, and school children spend more time at home, creating an uneven learning environment in disguise.

She explained that the purpose of basic education in elementary schools and middle schools is to make up for the shortcomings of the family and provide education with the same conditions, "maybe living in a sub-divided house, children can't do sports, or parents have less learning experience, etc.," which affects the satisfaction of students' learning or life. degree.

She believes that after school resumes, students’ learning differences will gradually emerge, and the government must provide corresponding support, including arranging social workers and educational resources to assist school children.
