Question

February 17th should have been the start of the new term for many middle and primary schools in China. However, because of the new coronavirus outbreak, many schools put off the start of the term. But students in China didn’t stop studying.

Instead of having class at school, many students in Beijing and Guangzhou began their first day of online classes on February 17th. Students in Shanghai started online classes on March 2nd. Students mainly took classes to review previous knowledge rather than taking new classes during the online study period. Online courses were required to include content about epidemic prevention (流行病防疫) , psychological health (心理健康) and educational activities.

“Online courses are only temporary measures (暫時(shí)的措施) taken during the epidemic, so when the new term begins, schools should not replace classroom teaching with online classes,” Lu Yugang from the ministry told China Daily.

The ministry also listed out some points to guide schools:

※ Don’t increase students’ schoolwork burden (負(fù)擔(dān)).

※ Don’t ask students to study online for long periods of time or study things beyond their courses.

※ Don’t spend all time learning without enough time for students to rest. Also, protecting students’ eyesight must be a priority (優(yōu)先).
