Students were thrilled to head back to campus on Monday as the government doubled the number of pupils allowed back in school amid a fall in Covid-19 cases.
The Education Bureau has relaxed restrictions and allowed up to two-thirds of students at all kindergartens, primary and secondary schools to resume half-day in-person classes.
If schools want to resume fully, teachers and other staff have to get tested for the coronavirus every two weeks or get both doses of a coronavirus vaccine.
At a secondary school in Shek Kip Mei, students had their temperatures checked and hands disinfected before entering the campus.
The school has arranged all students to have in-person classes but at different time slots every day.
RTHK talked to some of the students, and almost all of them said they are happy to be back at school.
“Online classes were not very efficient, as sometimes I didn't stay in front of the computer. I can focus better during face-to-face classes,” one student said.
Another student said he is happy that he can finally hang out with his peers at school.
But one pupil said he is a little stressed about the full resumption of classes.
"I haven't had face-to-face lessons every day for a long time. I'm not used to it. I'm stressed as I have to catch up with the progress at school," he said.
