The Education Bureau adjusted the school's anti-epidemic measures earlier, including three vaccinations for students participating in extracurricular activities from October, and the requirement for full-time face-to-face teaching in secondary schools to be vaccinated for 90% of students starting from November.
Lian Zhenbang, chairman of the Secondary School Principals' Association, said on the radio program this morning (3rd) that the academic community understands the decision. The school opening notices issued by all secondary schools on September 1st encouraged parents to bring their children to be vaccinated. I believe parents and students will cherish it. Campus life will try to cooperate as much as possible.
Cheung Yongbang, honorary chairman of the Hong Kong Aided Primary School Principals Association, said in the same program that he hoped that public and private outreach teams and vaccine vehicles will continue to arrive at the school in the future, so that students can be vaccinated in a safe environment.

It will take 90% of the time for 12 to 19 years old to get three injections
Lian Zhenbang, chairman of the Secondary School Principals' Association, said that the industry can understand that the Education Bureau has raised the requirement for full-time face-to-face teaching, but the ratio of 12 to 19-year-olds who have received two shots of the vaccine has reached 95%, and the ratio of three shots is about 54%. It is believed that It will take some time for the three-shot ratio to reach 90%.

He pointed out that while protecting the personal health of students, he also expects students to resume their studies and life. Parents and students cherish campus life and believe they will try their best to cooperate.
He personally rarely heard that parents had difficulty in bringing their children to be vaccinated for the third dose, and secondary schools also encouraged parents to bring their children to be vaccinated in the school opening notices issued on September 1.
The academic community is most concerned about whether the changes in the epidemic will affect the face-to-face teaching in schools. He hopes that even if face-to-face teaching is suspended in the future, the authorities will give schools flexibility to allow high school students, especially the Secondary Six students who will take the Diploma of Secondary Education Examination in the coming year, to return to school for teaching.

Primary school principals worry that there will be no time before October for students to be vaccinated with three injections, which will affect the development of extracurricular activities
Zhang Yongbang, honorary chairman of the Association of Heads of Aided Primary Schools of Hong Kong, said that this year's primary school freshmen were faced with great challenges. The school provided them with adaptation courses before the start of the school year, and also set up a parent orientation meeting to help parents and their children prepare for primary school life.
Regarding the adjustment of the Education Bureau, it is required that students participate in extracurricular activities to be vaccinated with three shots from October. Zhang Yongbang is worried that there may not be enough time for students to be vaccinated, which will affect the opening of extracurricular activities, and even affect the development of sports events in some academic circles. Human development is important.
He also mentioned that he hoped that public and private outreach teams and vaccine vehicles will continue to come to schools in the future, so that school children can be vaccinated in a safe environment.

The decline in the number of school-age students can be an opportunity to allocate resources and manpower to upgrade existing education
The two principals also talked about the decline in the number of school-age students in the program. They both considered it as an opportunity and hoped that the authorities could maintain the original number of classes, so that schools and teachers would have more space and resources to do a good job in education, such as taking care of special learning needs. Improvements have been made in the areas of students and non-Chinese speaking students.
Lian Zhenbang mentioned that he would write to the Chief Executive later to put forward suggestions including making good use of the declining population and improving quality education.
