Following the high school 3 and middle school students who opened a week ago, an additional 31.2 million elementary, middle, and high school students nationwide today (16th) start school online. It has been quite unstable today, with frequent delays in connection over the past week.

High school 1st and 2nd grade, middle school 1st and 2nd grade, and elementary school 4th, 5th and 6th graders start online at once.

On the 9th, 83,000 high school and 3 middle school students followed by 312,000 elementary, middle, and high school students from all over the country today are starting additional remote classes.

However, on the 13th and 14th, following the 9th, the delay in connection has been continuously followed, and the concern on the site is growing.

The Ministry of Education recommended that elementary schools use e-learning sites operated by the Korea Educational Academic Information Service and online classes operated by EBS for middle and high schools.

Earlier, EBS stated that the online class login method was changed from 'central login' to 'local login' for each school to prepare for connection delay.

This explains that up to 3 million people can access the EBS online class at the same time.

The Ministry of Education today announced that it will provide alternative learning, such as charging students with separate assignments if remote access does not work due to a problem with access again.

Elementary 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders who have not started school until today are scheduled to start online on the last of the 20th.
