All schools in Hong Kong will resume classes in stages from April 19 after the Easter holiday as soon as possible. The government has announced that students will be required to take a rapid antigen test before returning to school.
Hu Yanfen, chairman of the Council of Subsidized Primary Schools, said today (11th) that if the frequency of testing is once a day, it will cause pressure and financial burden on parents, so it is recommended to reduce the number of tests for vaccinated students, which can also be used as an incentive to encourage injections.

The economic burden caused by the daily quick test before class calls for consideration of the needs of poor families
Hu Yanfen said in Hong Kong and Taiwan's "Millennium Times" that she had recently discussed with the Education Bureau about the resumption of classes. The government is more concerned about the vaccination rate of children aged 3 to 11, and it is also recommended that students take a quick test before returning to school, but the frequency of testing is still under discussion.
She believes that if the students are young, if they have to take a quick test every day before class, the amount of quick test kits is quite large, which will put pressure on parents and even cause financial burdens.
In view of this, Hu put forward a counter-proposal. Students who have been vaccinated should not be tested every day as an incentive to encourage parents to give their young children an injection. The minimum number of injections required depends on the advice of government experts. required.
Avoid creating administrative pressure on the school and advocate filling out the record form and signing it
She also pointed out that it is difficult to check the quick test results of more than 1,000 students one by one every day, and the test results must be received before the students go out at 6:30 in the morning, which creates administrative pressure on the school. Therefore, it is recommended to refer to the past requiring parents to measure the students. For the arrangement of body temperature, fill in the record form and sign it, and hope that the Education Bureau will authorize schools to randomly check the test records of students, such as providing photos of the rapid test results. Improve school security.
In addition, Hu Yanfen agreed with the staged resumption of classes, but hoped that the Education Bureau would provide clear guidelines for class suspension, so as not to suspend classes for a few days for each case in the fifth wave, arguing that it would cause obstacles to teaching and school life.
