With the reappearance of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), social distancing is rising to the second stage in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon, and to stage 1.5 in the Honam area, thus strengthening the density of schools in these areas. . In particular, in the case of the metropolitan area, where the number of confirmed corona19 cases has increased significantly, with about 10 days for the University Academic Ability Test (SAT), more strengthened measures are taken of “ a third of all students attending school. ”
According to the Ministry of Education on the 22nd, the metropolitan area from the 24th, according to the academic management standards in each distance stage, from the previous regional epidemic stage of 1.5 stage ‘observance of two thirds of the school density’ to the second stage ‘school density of one third’ principle (3 School attendance standard is adjusted and applied as’ 2). Schools in the metropolitan area can operate in a maximum of two-thirds, taking into account local and school conditions and circumstances. For schools located in the Honam region, which have been upgraded to level 1.5, “two-thirds of school density” should be observed.
However, the Ministry of Education and the metropolitan education offices of the metropolitan area agreed to comply with one third of the school density (two thirds of secondary schools) as much as possible, after preliminary consultations in preparation for the second stage of update . This is a measure that takes into account the recent trend in infectious diseases and the examination schedule. This was reinforced at the level corresponding to stage 2.5, which is the national prevalence stage, in the principle of school attendance by distance. This measure is expected to be implemented for two weeks from the 24th.
The Ministry of Education and the metropolitan and provincial offices of education informed each school that even in areas that were not subject to the step 2 distance update, they could autonomously adjust school management by applying the strengthened school density. Kindergartens with a capacity of 60 or less, small schools such as elementary, middle and high schools with 300 students or less, agricultural and fishing village schools, and special (tier) schools are excluded from the density standard up to the distance of 2.5 steps.
In addition, the Ministry of Education decided to switch to remote classes starting on the 26th, a week before the SAT, for schools that are scheduled to be used as secondary schools and testing centers across the country. The Ministry of Education explained that even before the 26th, the metropolitan and provincial education offices could move to remote classes autonomously.
