On the 5th, after the Chuseok vacation, the students attend an elementary school in Seoul. © News1The Ministry of Education decided to increase the national standard for school density to less than two-thirds, as social distancing was reduced to the first stage. After the preparation period, it was decided to fully apply the standard relaxation, but many schools are expected to increase the number of attendees immediately.
According to the Ministry of Education on the 12th, after Chuseok’s special quarantine period, social distancing was reduced to the first stage, and as of the 19th, restrictions on the density of schools and campuses across the country will be reduced by two thirds.
Earlier, Vice Premier Yoo Eun-hye and the Minister of Education held a briefing at the Seoul Government Complex in Jongno-gu, Seoul, the day before (11), and announced a plan for academic management, including plans to extend classes to school.
The Ministry of Education made it possible to flexibly operate the school density standards for each region and school, citing the fact that the need to expand the school continued to increase due to the educational gap and the care burden caused by distance classes. prolonged.
In particular, with the exception of the metropolitan area and science colleges and overcrowded classrooms, the school density should be less than two-thirds in principle, but it was decided that the density could be adjusted according to local and school conditions. In fact, it has opened all the way to school in the non-metropolitan area. Some metropolitan and provincial education offices, including the Sejong City Education Office, demanded that the Ministry of Education expand the school taking into account the fact that the spread of the novel coronavirus (Corona 19) infection is not severe in non-metropolitan areas. Vice Premier Yoo said in a briefing: “It may be possible for schools and the Education Office to decide autonomously how to attend school in various formats, so that large-scale attendance is possible,” he said.
The Ministry of Education plans to expand the classes to attend the school during the preparation period from that day to the 18th, but is expected to increase the number of schools that expand the attendance classes by stating that it is possible to operate flexibly. classes from that day by city and school.
In the case of the Sejong City Education Office, there is already a plan to expand school attendance classes, assuming the second stage of social distancing, such as implementing the time difference school system as a pilot.
It is a method of expanding the grades of school classes by dividing the school hours by day, such as morning and afternoon classes instead of every other day or every other week.
The number of schools attending primary school every day is expected to increase. In the educational world, it was pointed out that in the case of primary school first graders, they did not adequately fulfill the primary school curriculum after graduating from kindergarten, and that opportunities for social content were insufficient.
If school density is reduced to two-thirds, in the case of primary schools, four students can go to school at the same time, which increases the space to relatively increase the number of lower grades.
Furthermore, in connection with Seoul Superintendent Cho Hee-yeon’s suggestion to exclude primary school first grader and secondary school first grader from the calculation of school density, the possibility of daily attendance School for the first grader increased as two students were allowed to attend middle school at the same time.
The day before (11) Lee Sang-soo, director of the Division of Support for School Innovation of the Ministry of Education, explained: “Since middle schools can attend school while maintaining a density of two thirds throughout the country, it is hoped that it will be possible to reflect the demands related to first-year attendance within the school. “
On the other hand, as social distancing step 1 is lowered, from that day on, even large academies with 300 or more employees will be freed from the group’s ban, and retailers are expected to sigh.
In the case of large academies in the metropolitan area, since August 19, the group ban has continued for approximately two months, and re-entry students have had a major setback in preparing for college ahead of the SAT on August 3. December.
However, since the announcement of the previous day (11) does not include the exclusion of high-risk facilities from the large academies requested by the academies, nor a plan to take face-to-face classes limiting the number of people per classroom, there is still the chance that the reaction will increase again if the spread of infectious diseases worsens. .
