First, early holidays in colleges and universities can prevent these students from staying in school.
As we all know, when the winter vacation is generally held in colleges and universities, then the Spring Festival travel rush peak is about to begin. Under such circumstances, if these college students who have been locked up for a year are released, they will have too much contact with people in society. Therefore, taking an early vacation can help them avoid the peak in Spring Festival travel rush, thus reducing their chances of being infected on their way home. Moreover, once the epidemic is serious, it is difficult for school students to manage, so it is better to let them have a holiday in advance.
Second, what are the disadvantages of doing so?
The disadvantages of doing so are also very obvious, because the severity of the epidemic in different regions is different now, so the control situation is also changeable. Under such circumstances, if some students return to their hometown, but the epidemic has not yet broken out here, the control will be looser, resulting in greater mobility of personnel. So in this case, these students may also be infected. However, these are already personal reasons and should be borne by the students themselves. But the biggest worry is that once some asymptomatic infected people return to school after the winter vacation, the impact on the school is still relatively large. After all, students often get together in a closed space. So if there is cross infection, the impact is unimaginable.
Third, how to look at this matter?
First of all, the early holiday is definitely to cope with this time in COVID-19, and there is no way to cope with the epidemic, but I don't think it is necessary for all schools to have early holidays. After all, there are many schools that do very well in prevention and control. Even if necessary, students can be educated during the winter vacation. As a closed group, schools can still play a very good protective role during the outbreak of the epidemic.
