Primary and secondary schools in several districts in Tianjin will switch to online classes from Monday in response to the city's current COVID-19 situation, the municipal education commission said.
To ensure the safety and health of teachers and students, kindergartens and nurseries in Tianjin will be temporarily closed from Saturday, and no training or childcare institution is permitted to provide offline services, the commission said.
The municipal education commission has formulated online teaching guidelines for basic education and secondary vocational education. The length of each class, the total number of class hours each day and teaching capacity vary based on the physical and mental development of students at different ages.
