  • HK schools start to welcome back their pupils

Many pupils expressed excitement on Monday about being able to go back to school, as most schools resume face-to-face classes following the Lunar New Year holiday amid an apparent easing of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Education Bureau earlier announced that up to a third of students will be allowed to attend classes in person at each school at any one time, while a full resumption will depend on whether schools are willing to get their staff tested once every two weeks.

At a kindergarten in Sau Mau Ping, the headmistress told RTHK that the school has adopted a variety of anti-epidemic measures, including regular cleaning and requiring all parents to fill in health declaration forms for their children before they are allowed on campus.

Several pupils and parents said they were thrilled that classes have finally resumed following months of suspension.

“It’s been too long since my daughter attended school, I am worried she can’t catch up”, one mother said.

“I am not too worried about the spread of the virus because the school has been teaching children about the importance of hygiene.”

Her K3 daughter, meanwhile, said she was excited to be back at school as she missed her teachers and classmates.
