All schools in the metropolitan area, including Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon, will start distance classes from the 15th.
Seoul Metropolitan Bureau of Education said on the 13th: “We have decided to switch classes in kindergartens, elementary schools and special schools remotely from 15 to 31, after middle and high school that stopped attending classes at from 7 “.
Small schools, such as elementary, middle, and high schools with 300 or fewer students and kindergartens with 60 or fewer students, which have been able to independently determine the density of the school, must take distance classes without exception. time.
During this period, the welfare class continues to function. Seoul Superintendent Jo Hee-yeon said: “In response to the national disaster, we have decided to preventively implement academic management measures that are equivalent to the three stages of social distancing.”
On this day, Gyeonggi-do and the Incheon Education Bureau also announced that “from the 15th, all schools will change their classes remotely.”
The transition period for remote classes at the Gyeonggi Education Office is until the end of this month. The Provincial Directorate of Education made the obligatory academic matters scheduled at the end of the semester and at the end of the school year, such as the evaluation in progress in each school, the confirmation of the school life records and the admission to the higher schools, under the decision of the director and in compliance with the principle of one third density. The graduation and closing ceremonies concentrated in late December and early January must be conducted face to face. The Gyeonggi-do Education Office said, “We will operate emergency care classes for kindergarten and elementary school students who are difficult to care for at home during remote classes.” “We plan to provide them with the existing school meals.”
In the case of the Incheon Office of Education, it is a policy to hold remote classes until separate notice. However, only in cases where it is unavoidable for the operation of the curriculum, such as student assessment, the level of concentration during the same time period was reduced to a third and limited attendance was allowed. Special schools (tiers) can attend students one to one or one to two in parallax form based on improved quarantine measures. Additionally, the Incheon Office of Education plans to provide emergency care to about 10 students per classroom for students from families in need of care.
Incheon City Superintendent Do Seong-hoon said: “Difficulties are expected to be anticipated in running the curriculum at the end of the school year and in career advancement guidance after the SAT, but I hope you understand. that this is a decision that was made to protect everyone’s safety and health. ” He said: “Please refrain from going out unnecessarily during remote classes and strictly follow the quarantine rules according to the social distancing stage.”
The reason metropolitan bureaus of education decided this way is that Corona 19’s broadcast is rarely broken. At 0 o’clock on day 4, there were 718 new confirmed cases of Corona 19, which is 300 less than the previous day (1030), but still high. It is interpreted that the effect of holidays is also reflected, which reduces the number of inspections compared to working days. The government is fighting to take steps such as increasing social distancing in three stages.
