The reason for the Seoul Office of Education’s decision to take remote classes in middle and high schools on December 4 is to reduce the risk of infection due to the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19).

Superintendent Cho said, “Because we have to pay attention to quarantine in addition to supervising the examination, the risk of infection is high based on the number of unspecified people gathered for the examination,” he said. Said.

Superintendent Cho also expressed his appreciation for the teachers who were put on the field. “In this SAT, a separate examination room, hospital examination room, etc. is operated in addition to the general examination room, and the number of students per classroom has decreased from 28 to 24, and the situation has changed, and the middle and high school teachers in the field have been working hard all day since dawn. ” “This is impossible without a sense of love and mission for the students,” he added.
