In response to a question from Xinhua News Agency, Wang Xuming said that schools in the disaster areas suffered serious losses, and the Ministry of Education has made special arrangements to require all regions and schools to decide whether to have a holiday or suspend classes according to the disaster situation. As for the specific number of schools, statistics are being made at present. At the same time, the damage of different schools in the hardest hit areas is different from that in the general disaster areas and the same disaster areas. We are doing statistics in this area, but we have put forward requirements. Besides, people from all walks of life are very concerned about the college entrance examination. Now, the focus is on saving people, and then saving people, because now is the most critical period to save people. As far as I know, the relevant departments are investigating this issue and keeping close contact with the Sichuan Provincial Department of Education and other relevant education departments. We have put forward several proposals, and will finally respect the opinions of the Sichuan Education Department. Wang Xuming said that one of these plans is to stop exams, another is to postpone exams, and the other is to postpone exams in disaster areas.
In response to a Beijing News reporter's question about whether there is a problem with the standards of school construction in disaster areas, Wang Xuming stressed that as far as I know, the collapsed buildings are all primary and secondary schools, including administrative departments and other departments, which is not true. Of course, it will take some time to demonstrate and analyze the reasons for the collapse of primary and secondary schools, and it is still too early to draw conclusions.
Beijing, May 18- After the devastating earthquake in Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province, severe disasters in some areas seriously affected the 2008 college entrance examination in Sichuan Province.
In order to ensure the safety of candidates and safeguard the interests of candidates, the Sichuan Provincial People's Government, after careful study and with the consent of the Ministry of Education, decided to postpone the 2008 general college entrance examination in 40 severely affected counties (cities, districts) such as Chengdu, Deyang, Mianyang, Guangyuan, Ya 'an and Aba, and the specific examination time will be determined separately depending on the disaster relief situation. The time of college entrance examination in other regions remains unchanged.
The education department will organize forces to provide free review and living conditions for candidates in the hardest hit areas to ensure that candidates can successfully take the college entrance examination. Free tuition for orphans and disabled candidates admitted to universities, and provide cost of living allowance; For orphans and disabled students who fail to enter the university, they will attend secondary vocational schools free of charge and provide vocational skills training. At present, it is necessary to do a good job in psychological adjustment counseling for candidates and help them enhance their courage and confidence in overcoming disasters.
