As traffic conditions in various districts may be affected tomorrow morning (October 8), the Education Bureau (EDB) reminded students and parents to pay attention to traffic news and relevant announcements before leaving home, and advised schools to adopt contingency measures according to school-based mechanisms and exercise flexibility in dealing with individual students' lateness or absence due to traffic problems.
      
     The EDB called on schools to make appropriate arrangements to take proper care of students who have arrived at school, maintain communication with parents, and allow students to return home after school only under safe conditions.
      
     The bureau also reminded students to put safety first at all times and return home as soon as possible after school. They should not wander on the streets or go to potentially dangerous places, and should never participate in unlawful activities.
