A group of well-known teachers and principals from Beijing schools gave the first lesson of the new term, including 97 senior-level principals and nearly 800 senior-level teachers in the city.

In his first lesson to the students, Xu Hua, principal of Luhe Middle School in Tongzhou District, encouraged the students to cultivate their morals amid the pneumonia outbreak.

Luhe Middle School has also formulated a special class schedule for the students, including knowledge review, physical exercises, aesthetic education, household duties, reading and so on.

Peiying Primary School in Beijing’s Haidian district held an online flag-raising ceremony, where students sang the national anthem in front of their computers to send their best wishes to the country in the war against the coronavirus.

In most schools, each day’s first online lesson starts later than the usual 8 a.m., and the duration of each lesson is set to be longer than the 45 minutes in the offline school curriculum to suit online learning practice.

In addition, nearly every school will include relaxation exercises during breaks and extracurricular activities that students can do at home into the school schedule.
