Parenting During Coronavirus Outbreak: Parents Find Children Easily Distracted Studying at home
As all kindergartens, primary and secondary schools are suspended during the Coronavirus outbreak, over 70% of kindergarten parents and over 80% of primary school parents said that their children had difficulties studying at home, according to a survey conducted by the Education University of Hong Kong.
Some upper kindergarten parents worried that even with online teaching material, they might not be able to teach children correct pronunciation. At home, parents also need to check if their children wrote correctly and quiz them repeatedly to enhance children's memories. Some parents said they tried their best to allot studying time from play time, but children were easily distracted at home. Parents were exhausted supervising them all day.
In views of the varying amount of homework, parents urged the Education Bureau to issue uniform guidelines.

HK Schools Resumed after "Early Summer Vacation", with Daily Rapid Testing for Students
During the daily #COVID19 press conference on April 11, Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced plans for schools to resume beginning on April 19, after nearly 2 months of suspension due to a wave of #Omicron sweeping through the city.
Students will need to take a rapid test every day before attending school; only those with a negative result will be allowed in.
The government also laid out guidelines for closing schools: if 5% of a school's students and staff test positive, the Centre for Health Protection (#CHP) will investigate the outbreak.
Vaccination will not be required for students, but those without it will not be allowed to attend extracurricular activities.
The timeline for resuming in-person classes:
Secondary schools: Starting May 3, schools can resume their classes in stages or entirely. By May 10, all classes must resume.
Primary schools: classes can resume in stages or entirely starting April 19. All classes must resume by May 3.
Kindergartens: One-third of classes are to resume starting May 3, with the remaining to resume on May 10. All classes must resume by May 16.
This will bring an end to the suspension of classes, which was began on Feb 21 when the government announced an "early summer vacation" for all schools.
During the press conference, Carrie Lam expressed her thanks that more schools have proactively taken anti-pandemic measures, including arranging vaccinations and distributing prevention kits, as a result of the government-mandated "summer vacation".
During the questioning period, a NowTV reporter asked whether parents could opt for online classes, instead of sending their children to school.
Secretary of Education Kevin Yeung replied that the policy was a balance between needs and risks, and they found that despite the risk being non-zero, resuming in-person classes was necessary. He further stated that students aged 6-15 are required by law to attend school.
