Hong Kong’s education authorities have allowed teachers at international schools to meet with students on campus to help them with coursework, despite the citywide closure of schools until at least March 16 to contain the spread of the coronavirus. Some international schools running the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum had asked students to return for tutorials or assessments. The Education Bureau said it had approved the practice.
The Education Bureau said it had allowed international schools to arrange face-to-face sessions on campus for some students.
“The bureau understands there are strong urges from these schools, students who need to take part in upcoming exams and their parents, therefore contingency plans have been implemented,” a bureau spokeswoman said.
Schools should however give parents a choice whether to let their children go back on campus, she added.
Whatever can be done to help students get ready for their International exams is a good thing. ITS can also help in person or online with students preparation for these important international exams.
