How to treat university holiday notice?

After Harbin Institute of Technology announced the holiday, students can return home voluntarily, and arranged special trains for students in the province and charter flights for students outside the province. In order to smooth the flow of students across provinces, Harbin Institute of Technology also issued a guarantee certificate for the students who traveled.

Harbin Institute of Technology made a high-profile commitment to the outside world. Before leaving school, the students were in good health and their body temperature was normal. They all took the exams on time during their school days. I hope the staff in railway stations, bus stations and airports will give more help and support. If there is a problem, the school is willing to take full responsibility. Jilin University also made a high-profile announcement in official website to provide charter flights for returned students. Because of the shortage of air tickets, the school actively coordinated China Southern Airlines Jilin Branch to set up eight special charter flights for students in Kyrgyzstan. Students can take chartered flights to Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Chongqing, Jinan, Lanzhou and Changsha.

Opinions vary.

The school announced that the holiday is not over, and it is a responsibility to send students safely to their hometown. As for the practice of sending students home by high-profile charter flights from Harbin Institute of Technology and Jilin University, it is generally believed that colleges and universities have achieved the ultimate humanistic care, which embodies the help and care for students and is full of warmth. Parents are very relieved to leave their children in these institutions, and the number of students in the coming year will be full. Others believe that the upsurge of college holidays and charter flights to send students home has had a great impact on students. This is an irresponsible act of throwing pots, but they just don't want to bear the pressure of students at school.

I spent most of my time in online classes after school started, and I announced a holiday before the end of the semester. Students pay tuition fees for study and should not toss and turn. Too much pressure on students will inevitably affect the follow-up postgraduate entrance examination, going abroad and employment. In addition, charter flights are not free, and students have to pay for air tickets themselves, which brings a lot of economic pressure to students with average economic conditions. A ticket far away costs several thousand yuan, and students are very distressed.

Viewpoint: Responsible or Disruptive?

The Spring Festival in 2023 is very early. Under the current special circumstances, if colleges and universities in Northeast China don't have a holiday in advance, it is likely to cause students to stay in school on a large scale. It will be difficult for students to go home for the New Year. Coupled with the rush of people in Spring Festival travel rush, the return of students will bring greater control pressure to their hometown. Taking a holiday in advance means planning ahead and leaving enough time for your hometown to deal with it. It can be said that the overall situation has been taken into account and the regret that students cannot reunite with their families has been avoided.

As for study, colleges and universities make it clear that students still have to study online when they go home, and the final exam is scheduled for next semester. As college students, we should adapt to the adjustment of teaching and examination under special circumstances. Regarding the cost of charter flights, the school's approach is actually excusable. If tens of thousands of students travel, they may not be able to afford it. In theory, schools are not obliged to do so. Charter flights only provide students with an alternative plan to go home, and students can also buy their own tickets to go home. In the notice of Jida, it is clearly stated that the charter fare is slightly lower than the market price. For example, the fare from Changchun to Guangzhou is 2450 yuan, and that from Zhengzhou is 1560 yuan. I believe that students and parents will not worry about this.

Judging from the actual feedback of students, they are very supportive of the school's practice and think that the school is very responsible and really considers the difficulties of students returning home in special periods. Objectively speaking, Harbin Institute of Technology and Jilin University are worthy of being "985" institutions, and they are very responsible for their students. There is no such thing as throwing a pot, which is much better than suddenly notifying students to leave school in colleges and universities.
