While the Ministry of Education announced that it will review and announce 'online opening' of elementary, middle and high schools by the 31st, many experts expect that guaranteeing the right to learn to the 'underprivileged of information' will lead to the success or failure of online opening.

On the 25th, the Ministry of Education signed a business agreement for distance education support cooperation with the nationwide provincial and provincial offices of education, the Korea Education and Research Information Service (KERIS), and the Korea Educational Broadcasting Corporation (EBS).

By the way, the key is whether all students can take classes and do assignments at home using TV, PC, smartphone, etc. In fact, many low-income students or multi-child home students may not have the relevant equipment.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Education began researching the current status of Internet and smart devices in students' homes through schools on the 27th. Also, based on the survey results, we are considering ways to support PCs for low-income students and multi-child families.

In addition, the Ministry of Education announced that it will actively support changes in the school site and systematically prepare for distance education through the operation of a pilot school for distance education and the formation of a '10, 000 community 'representative teacher.

Seok-Tae Kwon, head of the Department of Education for Future Talent Education, said, "We will prepare for online school in advance and support students' classes so that they will not interfere with their classes."
