Hu Yanfen, chairman of the Council of Subsidized Primary Schools, said on the RTHK program this morning (24th) that since it takes a certain period of time before the second dose can be administered after the first dose, it is believed that after the resumption of classes in April, 90% of the students will not be able to receive the vaccine in a short period of time.

She also pointed out that even if 90% of the target has been reached, she will definitely apply for the resumption of full-time face-to-face teaching, and she needs to consider lunch arrangements to find out whether the ventilation system in the classroom or canteen is suitable and sufficient.
Cai Lifang, director of the Federation of Education Associations and principal of Sibo Kindergarten, said on the same program that it is also difficult for kindergartens to reach the 90% target.

Hu Yanfen said on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millennium Times" that parents and schools are looking forward to returning to face-to-face teaching, but it always depends on the epidemic situation.
She admitted that although the school has recently provided online group training and learning, it has always been far from face-to-face teaching, describing students as dormant.
As for the vaccination rate, Hu Yanfen said that when the class resumed, the staff believed that they had already received two shots, but many students only had one shot, and the second shot needed to be vaccinated after a period of time.
She said that students are encouraged to be vaccinated, but parents will not be forced to arrange for their children to be vaccinated because of the vaccination rate.

Hu Yanfen also pointed out that even if the vaccination rate of students reaches 90%, schools may not apply for full-time face-to-face teaching. There are many factors to consider. For example, students need to eat in school, but it depends on whether the seating distance in the classroom or canteen is sufficient, and the ventilation system is it suitable.
Cai Lifang, director of the Federation of Education Associations and principal of Sibo Kindergarten, said on the same program that the epidemic affected the finances of private schools. It was initially expected that if classes were suspended until the summer vacation, some schools would close down. Fortunately, the resumption of classes in April can stop the bleeding.
