Every step of careful and in place measures make us feel full of security."

Organize online teaching activities, and students do not stop classes

"During the epidemic, foreign students have been exposed to many information related to the epidemic through various ways, and lack of judgment on some untrue information on the Internet, so they are inevitably anxious and fidgety." Wang Fei, Vice Dean of the overseas education college, introduced the knowledge of epidemic prevention to the teachers of the college, and translated them into English with overseas volunteers, and publicizing epidemic prevention knowledge through WeChat's "screen to screen" and "key to key".

Go through the formalities of leaving school and returning home, and provide personalized services

Because of the outbreak of the epidemic, the overseas students especially affect the hearts of their families in the distance. Because of the epidemic, various uncertain factors make the simple way of returning to China for overseas students become relatively tortuous.

On February 6th, the 2019 grade student Asad akhmedov from Uzbekistan applied to the college for returning home. With the help of the counselor, he completed the procedures of leaving school, but when he arrived at Beijing airport, he found that the flight was temporarily cancelled.

After arriving at the school, they arranged Asad akhmedov to stay in the isolation area according to the regulations. At the same time, they also contacted the entry and exit management department of Jiangbei new area in Nanjing to understand the specific policies of the students' country and China. After that, they booked his a ticket and provided protective materials. Finally, Asad Akhmedov successfully flew home from Nanjing airport. "Thank you for taking care of me during the outbreak." Asad akhmedov said, "in fact, China has done a very good job in epidemic prevention. After returning to China, I also introduced China's good epidemic prevention measures and experience to people around me."

Maria, a 2018 garde Thermophysics Engineering doctoral student back in Pakistan.In his letter to the school, FAYYAZ wrote, "during China's fight against covid-19, the role of the Chinese government was enormous. Although we are foreigners, we were treated equally with Chinese citizens. The Chinese government ensured that everyone was well taken care of.China-Pakistan relations are great.

At present, Nanjing Tech University organizes overseas students to carry out online daily learning activities and submit their own health information every day, and their study life is on the right track. The returned students are still interested in China and actively voice on the Internet.
