The third day of high school, scheduled for 13 days, was postponed to 20 days a week. Kindergarten, elementary, middle and high school students are also delayed from one school to another for a week. This is a measure according to the group infection of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), focused on the Itaewon Club in Seoul. There was an emergency in the academic schedule of a high school student before the entrance exam.
The Ministry of Education held an emergency briefing at the Sejong Government Complex on the 11th at 5:30 pm and announced school attendance hours. Compared to the attendance schedule announced by the Ministry of Education on the 4th, the entire school year is delayed by one week. Accordingly, high school students go to school on the 20th, and high school students in grades 2, 3, and 1 to 2 and kindergarten students attend school on the 27th. On June 3, the 1st grade, 2nd grade and 3rd to 4th grade students, and finally, on June 8th, students from 1st grade, 5th to 6th grade will attend.

Elementary, elementary, middle and high schools may be postponed for an additional week and may be delayed.
The Ministry of Education hastily postponed school days two days before high school due to infection from the corona19 group of ‘From Itaewon Club’. According to the Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters (Main Administration), the cumulative number of confirmed cases related to the Itaewon club increased to 86 people at 12:00 noon on this day.
Seoul has the highest number of 51, but 21 are Gyeonggi-do, 7 Incheon, 5 Chungbuk, 1 Busan, and 1 Jeju. Of the 5,517 visitors to the club, only 44% (2,456) of the epidemiological surveys were conducted, which could increase the number of confirmed patients in the future. Deputy Minister of Education Baek Beom-beom said: “The number of contacts spread to each country across the country and there is great fear of spreading infections in the region.
School may be delayed depending on the spread of the infection. The Ministry of Education said: “The schedule and method for attending elementary, middle and high schools should be postponed for a week, but may change depending on the results of future epidemiological investigations.” In particular, it is about whether the student or staff is infected with the Itaewon Club. The Ministry of Education strongly recommended that school members who visited a club in Itaewon from 24 to 6 this month, or who overlapped with the confirmer, be diagnosed regardless of symptoms.

“No student or staff member has been identified as a confirmed student,” said Park. “There will be no difficulties in attending school because the self-diagnosis of the medical condition is carried out a week before school and the presence of a confirmed or abducted person in the family is confirmed.”

As concerns about community infections increase, there are likely to be many schools with online classes even after school. “Parallel online and offline lessons may differ by region and school, but in a situation where the risk is higher, we expect classes more remote than the original plan,” said Park.

As the time to attend school is delayed again, the confusion of high school students before the entrance exam is expected to increase. The 14-day National Academic Performance Assessment will have to be postponed after attending school on the 20th. Frontline schools planned to take the midterm exams for the last week of May when school went to school on 13, but the delay was also inevitable. Jung Mo (35), a high school teacher in Seoul, said: “I can take the exam somehow, but the students have to work very heavy hours.”
Some argue that the homework schedule should be postponed, but the Ministry of Education has made no changes to the homework schedule. “I think it won’t be too difficult to get into college if school starts in May,” said Assistant Secretary-General Park.
