Recently, foreign teachers in many schools in Suzhou expressed their concern for Suzhou and their confidence in fighting against the epidemic through words, videos and other means. Some foreign teachers choose to stay and wait for the new semester with Chinese students.
“I am confident that China will be able to control the outbreak!” Frances is a foreign teacher. She could have returned home with her mother, but in the end she chose to stay in China. During this period, she felt the determination of the Chinese people to fight against the epidemic: countless selfless medical staff, countless unrequited donations, and also felt the powerful measures taken by the Suzhou Municipal Education Bureau in response to the epidemic: making the phone call to care about the health, distributing masks, and guiding the knowledge of epidemic prevention and protection.
Frances wrote down what she saw and heard in Suzhou these days and contributed to The Leitrim Observer, a newspaper in his hometown of Leitrim, Ireland. Foreign newspaper has published this article recently.
In recent days, foreign teachers in Suzhou are making great efforts to record online courses related to citizenship awareness courses, and using online platform to teach students remotely.
At the beginning of the epidemic prevention and control, Suzhou Municipal Education Bureau quickly made a comprehensive understanding of foreign teachers in Suzhou. In order to better explain the relevant policies to foreign teachers and popularize the knowledge of prevention and control, Suzhou Municipal Education Bureau issued A Letter to All Foreign Teachers in Suzhou. Meanwhile, full-time personnel were arranged to keep close communication with foreign teachers in Suzhou, update their health status every day, pay attention to the itinerary dynamics, solve the problems they encounter in life and work, and convey their confidence in fighting the epidemic. These specific actions let the foreign teachers not panic in the face of the epidemic, strengthened their determination to stay in Suzhou, and believed that China would win against the epidemic.
