As of May 18, all primary, middle and high school students in Luohu, a total of 129,278 to be exact, had returned to campus, starting their new semester delayed for about three months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Under the careful arrangements of the education bureau and district schools, all students and faculty members entering school must have their temperature monitored several times a day even if their COVID-19 test result is negative.

Zhao Jiaoyan, director of the student guidance center of the Luoling Foreign Language School, said the school had worked hard, with cooperation of parents, to ensure the health of every student.

According to Li Jiangning, chair of an association of teachers and parents, the students finish their classes in four batches so as to avoid large gatherings; some parents have volunteered to help disperse the crowds after school as soon as possible.

The first class of the new semester covered the COVID-19 pandemic, helping raise student awareness of self-protection and keeping fit. 

Hong Yuechang, a teacher of the Luoling school, said students will not be tested for what they have learned from the previous online education courses the school provided over the past two months so as to help them re-adapt to campus life as soon as possible.

Without seeing each other for months, some students found they had even forgotten the names of their classmates and teachers.
