That was not the case. In recent days, many provinces including Fujian, Anhui and Shaanxi have issued notices, requiring colleges and universities to make plans for students to return to school in the spring semester in advance, and postpone the online teaching plan for returning to school in an emergency. At the same time, some colleges and universities have explicitly postponed the start of the spring semester to further ensure the health and safety of teachers and students.
Peking University
Peking University pushed back the scheduled start date in the school calendar by two weeks, that is, March 8, 20021year. In order to make up for the shortage of teaching time, Peking University adjusted some holidays on 202 1. For example, Labor Day is a five-day legal holiday. According to the arrangement, Peking University only has two days off.
Lanzhou University
The time for students to return to school in the spring semester of 20021Lanzhou University was changed from February 20th to February 27th-28th, that is, one week later. The notice of Lanzhou University also specifically mentioned that if the epidemic situation changes and students cannot return to school on time, online lesson plans will be launched in time.
In addition, Yanshan University, Jilin University, Jinan University, South China Agricultural University and other universities have also issued notices to postpone returning to school, to return to school in batches or not to return to school without prior notice.
It can be predicted that at present, many colleges and universities have made preparations for college students not to return to school on time and start online classes. However, the vast majority of college students still hope to return to school as scheduled and sit back and relax in the spacious and bright classroom.
It's better to stay at school for the New Year than to go back to school. However, due to the existence of winter vacation and Spring Festival, college students who want to go home for the New Year will still account for the majority. However, the following three types of college students are actually strongly recommended to stay in school for the New Year!
The first category: college students living in high-risk areas.
It is completely understandable that college students want to go home and reunite with their relatives during the Spring Festival, but if the epidemic situation in their place of residence is serious, it is even clearly defined as a medium-high risk area. Then from the perspective of safety, even if local college students are sent home, it is not recommended to take this risk. At the same time, the colleges and universities where these college students are located should do a good job of care and service for staying in school, so that these students can stay in school for the Spring Festival without worries, and someone can help them solve their problems in time.
The second category: graduates with postgraduate entrance examination or employment pressure.
Among all kinds of college students, graduates are undoubtedly the most difficult, especially those facing the pressure of postgraduate entrance examination or job hunting. For college graduates who take the postgraduate entrance examination, March is generally the time to announce the national line or the retest line. If they cross the line and are trapped at home because of the epidemic, it will be greatly affected. For graduates who have not yet implemented their jobs, there are generally many high-quality jobs in Spring Recruitment, which is also the last chance to find a good job before graduation. Therefore, it is suggested that graduates who are still under the pressure of postgraduate entrance examination or employment should spend this winter vacation at school, which is more convenient for them to review and prepare.
The third category: graduate students with scientific research tasks.
Among all kinds of college students, graduate students with scientific research tasks are often on vacation at the latest. Many tutors' research groups even let the students go one or two days before the Spring Festival in order not to delay scientific research experiments. If you feel that your scientific research task is very heavy, or you have entered an important critical stage, then it is also recommended to stay at school during the Spring Festival, which is both safe and conducive to your better completion of scientific research tasks.
In a word, this winter vacation is destined to be extraordinary for universities and college students, especially graduates facing the turning point in their lives. I wish all the best in the future!
