China’s education arrangements during COVID-19 pandemic period
(Information as of 20 May 2020)
According to the World Health Organisation, school closures due to
the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) have affected over 1.5 billion
children and young people around the world. [1] This includes
270 million students in mainland China who were unable to start
their spring semester (February – August 2020) on campus as
planned. [2]
To minimize the impact on education continuity, the Chinese
Government introduced various measures applicable in the COVID-19
context. These are outlined below.
Limiting face to face teaching
Assisting with the transition to online and distance delivery modes
To support education institutions’ transition to online learning, the
MoE(Ministry of Education) issued on 4 February 2020 the “Guidance
on the organisation and management of online teaching and learning
in regular higher education institutions”.[13] The document requested
higher education institutions to use online platforms to facilitate
remote study and recommended 22 online platforms in China capable
of providing 24,000 higher education courses for free (see appendix A
for list of platforms).
Looking forward
The COVID-19 situation appears to be stabilizing in China and schools
are gradually opening up to students after an extended winter/spring
break. The next challenge for Chinese schools and institutions is to
ensure campus safety and monitor the health of all students, faculty
and staff as they return to face-to-face learning.
