On the 26th, a week before the university entrance exam, a translucent screen to prevent Corona 19 will be installed at the test site prepared at Jowon High School in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province. [사진 = 연합뉴스]With the Corona 19 spread intensifying again, the ‘2021 College Academic Ability Test’, which will take place next week, also has a red light on quarantine.
This is because, not only in the community but also in secondary schools, there are countless confirmed cases of corona19 without exception. In the worst case, the Ministry of Education is fully preparing under the policy of taking the SAT on schedule even if the social distancing rises to three stages, but school and family anxiety is not easily calmed.
The Ministry of Education announced on the 26th that as of the 26th, 21 examinees were confirmed as corona19 and 144 examined were self-isolation measures by the health authorities.
So far, the Ministry of Education has collected and disclosed the status of confirmed student and teacher cases by city and province on a daily basis, but this is the first time that only test takers who took the SAT this year have separately disclosed the number. of confirmed subjects and self-assessment. However, the Ministry of Education did not reveal how many examinees were classified as confirmed or selfed by region.
It was also found that Seoul, which had no confirmed patients from high school 3 through 19, had recently had an infection. An official from the Seoul Metropolitan Bureau of Education said: “There is more than one confirmed person among the candidates, but exact figures cannot be released.”
On the day of the SAT exam on December 3, the final number of staff to be assigned to a separate testing center for Corona 19 may differ depending on whether the confirmed patient is cured, the status of additional infections, and the completion date of self-isolation. for 14 days.
On that day, Vice Premier Eun-hye Yoo and Minister of Education (pictured) announced a public appeal at the Seoul Government Complex, saying: “All citizens seriously request that they stop their daily social activities during a week with the heart of his parents. ” Furthermore, Vice Premier Yoo emphasized that it is necessary to maintain the distance between the families of the examinees. The Education Ministry found that 70% of confirmed students this month were family-related infections.
Vice Premier Yoo said, “I ask all family members, including parents, brothers and sisters, of the examinees to practice as far away from home as possible for just one week before the SAT.” I asked for guidance. ”
This year, there were 1,381 test sites and 31,459 test rooms, 50% more than the previous year. The number of management personnel, such as test supervision, has also been deployed at 120,000, an increase of around 30% over the previous year.
In families with examinees, even if they are not subject to self-isolation, there are cases where they voluntarily go into self-isolation. This is because if you get Corona 19, you will not be able to view any remaining university specific exams such as essay writing and interviews. Also, even if there is an opportunity to take the SAT, there are many limitations in physical strength, so it is to take good care of the body.
In a high school family in Seoul, the father and the second student who attends school are sent to their parents, and only the mother and the first student, the first, are preparing for the exam by isolating themselves at home.
