In the midst of the national pandemic of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), the university entrance exam (SAT) was held on day 3, followed by specific university exams such as essay, interview and practical skills, and the education and quarantine authorities cannot release the tension. .
According to the Ministry of Education, on the 6th, on the 22nd, 63,000 face-to-face assessments will be carried out in universities across the country. The testing schedule focused on the weekend (December 5-6) and the next 12-13 immediately after the SAT. During this period, about 400,000 people, including 207,000 and 192,000 respectively, moved to take specific university exams.
Education and quarantine authorities are concerned that it is inevitable that candidates and their families will move to the region to take the specific university exam.
In the case of the SAT, it was difficult to manage the quarantine because a large number of people showed up for the exam in one day, but most of them underwent the test at a test center near their home and were able to go to home immediately thereafter, so the risk of infectious disease transmission was relatively low.
On the other hand, in the situation where large universities are concentrated in the metropolitan area, specific university exams are attended by non-metropolitan candidates and their families in their own car or public transport. The younger population also has a high percentage of asymptomatic infections, raising concerns that specific university exams may be a channel of transmission.
Sook-young Lim, head of Defense Countermeasures Headquarters (Bang Dae-bon), said at a briefing on the current situation of Corona 19 in Korea the day before: “After the SAT, there is a movement at the national level based on specific university assessments such as interviewing and essay writing, and the number of students in the university is expected to be expected. ” Even after it’s over, I ask you to put off meeting friends and acquaintances for a while and to safely prepare a schedule for the future.
The Ministry of Education has previously directed each university to expand non-face-to-face screening to prevent infectious diseases through the Korean Council for University Education (Daekyo University) several times; however, face-to-face assessment to ensure fairness in essay writing and practical skills is unavoidable, and conditions for interviews vary from university to university. Face-to-face and face-to-face evaluation are done in parallel.
Catholic University (Uiye), Konkuk University, Dankook University (Humanities), Sogang University (Nature), Sungkyunkwan University (Humanities), Sookmyung Women’s University (Nature / Humanities 1st), Korea Aerospace University, Hanyang University (Nature), University Kyung Hee (1st), Soongsil University (Nature) The metropolitan area university had already taken the writing test the day before and the Pyeongtaek University took the aptitude test in the last 4-5 days.
The on-site evaluation schedule for universities in the metropolitan area continues.
On the 6th, rehearsal tests will be held at Kyunghee University (2nd), Dankook University (Nature), Deokseong Women’s University, Dongguk University, Sogang University (Humanities), University of Sungkyunkwan (Nature), Sookmyung Women’s University (2nd Humanities) and Hanyang University (Humanities).

In the case of interviews, Sookmyung Women’s University, Dongguk University, Konkuk University, and Seoul City University conduct video interviews, but Yonsei University introduced a recording method after recording in the field in some screenings, and Seoul National University only evaluated face-to-face interviews. do.
The Ministry of Education plans to operate until the 22nd as an ‘intensive management period for each university evaluation’ and focus on quarantine management.
First, we ordered each university to take measures such as △ Separation of the movement of candidates △ Separation of the screening dates of the essays and the screening schedules △ Operation of a general situation room within the university △ Establishment of a quarantine office within the university △ Restriction of access to university exam centers other than those examined △ In case of symptoms of university members, we order measures such as suspension of attendance and attendance. .
Local governments, public health centers, police stations, and fire departments in the area where the university is located will establish a cooperative system to manage quarantine and traffic around the university.
Universities are also focusing on strengthening the quarantine for each college exam.
Chung-Ang University is scheduled for a writing test from 12-13, and two days before the test, the entire campus is “closed” and quarantine and sterilization are taking place. Candidates must wear a KF94 or higher health mask, and the supervisor will receive a KF94 or higher health mask, face shield, and disposable latex gloves.
Soongsil University recently changed the interview with the academic class held on the 12th, 13th and 19th to a real-time non-face-to-face assessment. Consequently, all those who passed the first stage of the document can request an interview, even those who have been confirmed.
On the other hand, the Ministry of Education, in order to support self-quarantined candidates to take university-specific exams, △ Seoul, △ Incheon, Gyeonggi △ Gangwon △ Daejeon, Sejong, Chungnam, Chungbuk △ Gwangju, Jeonnam, Jeonbuk △ Daegu, Jeonnam, Gyeongnam △, etc. In each district 22 independent test centers and 348 independent test rooms are installed and operated.
However, each university can decide whether or not a quarantined person will take the university-specific exam, and those that have been confirmed are limited, except for some interviews.
Deputy Minister of Education Park Baek-beom told a briefing at the Sejong Government Complex on the 2nd: “Unfortunately, there is no choice but to take action for confirmed cases,” he said, “because the confirmed person cannot leave the hospital. or the vital treatment center. ”
