As Hong Kong schools close again, frazzled parents go back to juggling jobs, monitoring kids' online lessons

By ITS Education Asia

Hong Kong’s fourth wave of  Covid-19  infections has closed schools for the rest of the year, leaving some parents having to cope once again with juggling their jobs and having their children at home (SCMP). It means supervising their children doing schoolwork over tablet computers, monitoring them via WhatsApp text messages, or leaning more on domestic workers to share the load.

Hong Kong schools were first shut in early February after Covid-19 struck the city, then reopened in June. When a third wave of infections arrived in July, they were closed once again before reopening in September. With a fourth wave now upon the city, all kindergartens, primary and secondary schools have been closed once again until next year.
