Starting on the 19th, the number of students attending kindergarten, elementary, middle and high school across the country will increase. Because schools across the country can serve up to two-thirds of their students, first-grade students in most regions attend school every day.
Primary 1 Most attend school every day, extendable to other school years
According to the education industry on the 18th, starting on the 19th, the attendance limit will be lowered from less than a third to less than two-thirds. On the 11th, when the Central Headquarters for Disasters and Security Countermeasures (the middle script) lowered the stage of social distancing to stage 1, the Ministry of Education decided to expand the school from the 19th.
As the number of days to go to school decreases, there are concerns that the gap in education and the gap in care are widening, and the Ministry of Education has revealed the need to expand the school several times. In particular, some have agreed with the argument that “first graders who need to adjust to school must attend school every day.” With this ease of school restrictions, first graders are expected to attend school every day in most regions of the country.
According to the policy of the Ministry of Education, the two-thirds limit applies strictly to overcrowded schools, overcrowded classes and schools in the metropolitan area with a large number of students, and two-thirds for the rest of the area, but the density is can adjust according to conditions. Therefore, it is possible to attend school every day in grades other than first year, depending on the region and school conditions.
The province ‘every day goes to school’ … Gangnam Primary School 1 school boundary with many students
In fact, in Daejeon, primary and secondary schools with less than 600 students and secondary schools with less than 750 students were able to attend school every day. In Gwangju, schools with less than 900 (800 in secondary schools) can go to school, and in Daegu, places with 28 students or less per class can go to school. If the number of students in Chungnam Province is less than 900, the whole school can be attended, and kindergartens and primary school first and second grade students must attend school every day.
On the other hand, some schools in areas with high student density, such as Gangnam-gu and Songpa-gu, Seoul, divide their attendance two to four times a week during the first year of elementary school. Some areas are divided into morning and afternoon classes.
Large number of confirmed cases, script “Possibility of latent infection”
There are many parents who prefer to attend school rather than poor remote classes, but there are voices of concern that the expansion of the school will lead to the spread of self-infection, given the situation where the number of confirmed patients in Korea will not rarely decreases. According to the script, the number of newly confirmed coronavirus infections (Corona 19) on the 18th was counted as 91. After the 11th, when social distancing was lowered to the first stage, the number of confirmed cases per day for a week It has increased and decreased from 47 to 110.
Even this weekend, which is the first time since the distance easing, was packed with outings across the country. In a briefing on the 16th, the script referred to: “Because it is only one week after the Hangeul holiday ends, there is a possibility that community infections will remain dormant considering the incubation period.” .
