As group infection from Seoul’s Itaewon Club to Corona19 spreads across the country, concerns about school classes beginning in the junior year of high school on the 13th are also growing. Some say there is no need to delay school attendance again. The government announced it would decide whether to delay school attendance as soon as possible through the spread of the infection and the views of school sites.
On the 10th, on the bulletin board of the Blue House National Petition, petitions were urged to oppose school attendance and postpone attendance. The petition generally says: “The health and lives of children are more important than learning when the Corona 19 situation is not over.” The Ministry of Education, High School in 13th grade, High School in 2nd and 3rd grade on 20th, and 1st and 2nd grade students and 1st and 2nd grade on 20th, 1st and 2nd and 3rd and 4th grade on the 27th, and 1st and 5th grade on the 1st of the following month. The plan is to hold sixth grade classes in sequence.
Parents cannot hide their anxiety. This is because the number of cumulative confirmed cases of corona19 at Club Itaewon increased to 54, and concern that the recent decline in infection in the community could spread again. Im-39, who is raising three children, said: “When I wanted to go to school, but now I don’t want to send it, but I am more concerned if I send it.”
The same goes for high school students who are about to go to school right away. Jeong Mo-yang, 19, who is preparing for college entrance exams, said, “I hope the class is completed as soon as possible, but I am concerned about the immunity of the dorm school because it is weak.” .
The education industry believes that home schooling will increase if school attendance is scheduled as scheduled. The Ministry of Education made it possible for families to request experimental learning off campus when the crisis stage for infectious diseases is severe or borderline. Off-campus experimental learning is a system that recognizes experimental off-campus activities as field trips for about 20 days. In the situation of the corona19 expansion, he practically recognized the option of attending school.
Park Neung-hu, the first director of the Central Headquarters for Disaster Security Response, said in this day’s briefing: “It is difficult to decide at this time (whether or not to postpone school classes) because the epidemiological investigation related to the Itaewon club is in its infancy. ” “It will be decided as soon as possible through convergence.”
“Policy has not been established within the government on whether or not to adjust school attendance hours,” said Eun-Kyung Jeong, head of the Central Defense Policy Division. “We continue to discuss the impact in high school.” On the 8th, Chung said, “It is too early to say the delay in school.” The government appears to be watching the expansion of the Itaewon club.
