At 8:54 a.m. on the 19th, the Harbin Municipal Education Office issued an emergency advisory: “According to information released by the meteorological department, the city’s blizzard disaster warning level has reached the red warning With municipal government approval, primary and secondary schools and kindergartens will be closed for one day on November 19 。Districts and counties (cities) least affected by snowfall are subject to local government decision based on from the actual situation. Students who have already arrived at school should take care of them. Parents will pick up when convenient. Students who have not arrived at school can do so. Self-study at home, such as online learning. “

Right now, Harbin elementary and middle school students have been in class for almost 2 hours.

“It’s too timely and school will end later.” “It’s too timely. I’ll pick it up as soon as I ship it. It’s great.” “Good job. I exercised my children and trained the parents.” As soon as the notice came out, the social media platform’s comments instantly exploded.

Why is the emergency notice so late? What about the children who come to school? A reporter for Chinanews.com interviewed the relevant person in charge of the Harbin Education Bureau by phone.

The relevant person in charge of the Harbin Office of Education Supervision and Safety Division said that a notice was issued yesterday and that the district, county and city education offices can ask the local government to decide whether to suspend classes. Because Harbin has a relatively large area, the situation in different districts, counties and cities is different, and the warning level of the previous day did not meet the requirements for suspension of classes. “Students who have already arrived at school require the school to do a good job nursing. Those who have not arrived can study online at home.”

Parents questioned the late publication of the notice. The official said that at 7 o’clock on the 19th, the education department received an early warning from the meteorological department. At 8 o’clock, the education department issued a notice after consulting the Harbin municipal government for its decision. The official said that before the meteorological department issued this warning, the education department could not make this decision temporarily.

Around 9:40, parents have received a notice from the school to pick up their children in the afternoon. (End up)Return to Sohu to see more
