The Education Bureau announced earlier that all schools in Hong Kong will temporarily maintain half-day face-to-face classes in the 2022/23 school year. If secondary schools meet the vaccination requirements, they can resume full-day face-to-face classes, while primary schools and kindergartens can still only arrange half-day classes.

Teachers and students are still required to take quick tests every day.


Zhang Yongbang, honorary chairman of the Principals Association of Aided Primary Schools, said in a radio program today (8th) that it was expected that primary schools would arrange half-day classes.

However, he believes that if the vaccination rate of primary schools reaches 90%, it is possible to study and consider resuming full-day face-to-face teaching. Because more afternoon classes focus on whole-person development, long-term suspension will have an alternative impact on students.


Zhang Yongbang also pointed out that many schools are facing difficulties in recruiting. Due to factors such as immigration, teacher transfer, and school transfer, it is more difficult than previous years to recruit suitable teachers.

Zhang Yongbang pointed out that the current daily number of confirmed cases has risen to 4,000 to 5,000, so he believes that it is a safe practice to arrange half-day classes, but it is recommended that if primary schools reach the 90% vaccination rate, they may consider resuming full-day classes.

Returning to half-day classes affects students' whole-person development

He explained that after switching to half-day classes, most of the school's classrooms focus on teaching subjects.

However, referring to the previous full-day classes, the school will provide growth classes, moral education gatherings, national or national security education, etc. through lunch breaks and afternoon classes, etc., and more arrangements in the afternoon, but now compressed into half-day classes, these whole-person development activities Or forced to become an online class, or even deleted.

Zhang also believes that incentives for vaccination should be provided. For example, students who have been vaccinated, unless they have symptoms, they may consider that a rapid test may not be required every day.
