Hong Kong schools can resume face-to-face classes in two phases on a half-day basis from September 23, the education minister has revealed, following a recent drop in the number of new Covid-19 cases.
Kevin Yeung Yun-hung said students entering Primary Five, Primary Six, Form Five and Form Six in the new academic year, as well as those starting primary or secondary school and final-year kindergarten pupils, would be the first back on campus.
They will be followed on September 29 by pupils from Form Two to Form Four, Primary Two to Primary Four, and kindergarten children in K1 and K2, the secretary for education said at a Monday press conference.
