As schools remain closed due to the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak, China’s Ministry of Education (MOE) will be opening an online learning platform to help students continue their studies while at home.
The MOE, in an official release, said that a “National Online Cloud Classroom” will be opened on February 17 which is also the “date when classes were initially scheduled to resume classes.”
In an effort to prevent the continued spread of the 2019-nCoV, the MOE postponed the start of the spring semester 2020 and instructed the students “not to go out, meet people, organize or attend mass gatherings during the winter vacation.” It instructed after-school training institutions cancel the offline courses they offer.
Earlier, MOE also mobilized resources from local educational government bodies in Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan Province, and Zhejiang Province, and encouraged leading schools to “share their online learning resources for free until schools can reopen.” The People’s Education Press, the MOE said, will also open its digital learning database to the public for free.
