With high school seniors already back in class since Apr 27, and Grade 9 students back this Monday, May 11, the announcement provides further welcome news to Beijing parents of school-aged students.

Very little was said about university education at today’s press conference, which likely means a return to campus is still a ways to go for college kids. However, the education commission did say that college seniors may return after June 6, though they are not compelled to do so. Since college seniors will typically take on internships in their final semester, and thus usually do not have classes; this may be a gesture to simply allow them back to pack up and say goodbye.
