On June 365438+1October 3 1, at the press conference held by the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism, Wang Dengfeng, director of the Office of the Leading Group for COVID-19 Epidemic Response and director of the Department of Sports Health and Art Education, responded that the current requirements of the Ministry of Education for the start of this spring semester are comprehensive, normal and safe.

Wang Dengfeng pointed out that from now on, all localities have begun to analyze and judge the start of school, and will adjust the start requirements and schedule of the spring semester in time according to the development and changes of the epidemic prevention and control situation.

If there are still high-risk areas after the Spring Festival, students in these areas may have to suspend their return to school. However, for the entire education system and schools, it is still necessary to ensure the timely and safe start of school, which also requires planning the preparations for the start of the spring semester in advance.

With regard to the start of the 20021spring semester, the Ministry of Education currently requires a comprehensive, normal and safe start, and now it is necessary to do three things at the same time:

First, revise the new version of the school epidemic prevention and control technical plan with the State Health Planning Commission. What is being implemented now is the technical scheme of epidemic prevention and control in autumn and winter, and the technical scheme of epidemic prevention and control should be revised when the spring semester starts.

The second is to require local schools to analyze and judge the epidemic situation at any time. According to the development and changes of epidemic prevention and control situation, all localities will timely adjust the requirements and time schedule for the start of the spring semester.

The third is to require all local schools to prepare for the start of the spring semester in advance. Under special circumstances, it may be necessary to start school in batches. The preparations for the start of the spring semester should be carefully considered in advance.

At the same time, the Ministry of Education now requires local schools to prepare for the connection between online and offline teaching, and can start online teaching at any time if necessary. If the school can start safely and comprehensively, the Ministry of Education will release relevant information as soon as possible. We hope the children can go back to school on time!
