COVID-19, over 17 million Chinese students learn online

China launched a national educational platform on the internet to enable the learning of 180 million elementary and high school students who were quarantined home because of the coronary explosion.

The initiative, jointly enabled by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on February 17th, includes a free learning platform involving 31 province-level regions in the continental part of China.

Until May 11th, the platform registered about 2.1 billion visits, said Lyu Yuang from the Ministry of Education a news conference Thursday.

China postponed the start of the new school semester, as part of efforts to control the epidemic, and students and students turned to online courses for about three months to continue their studies.

By May 8th, a total of 17.75 million students in China have attended online instruction due to the closure of campuses after COVID-19.

The courses in which these students took part were held in distance from 1,003 million teachers from 1454 universities throughout the country.

But, with the decline in the country's epidemic, a growing number of regions have resumed classes. More than 100 million Chinese students have returned to schools, making up 39 percent of all students and students throughout the country from gardens to universities.
