While many private junior high school entrance exams are scheduled for this weekend in Hokkaido, students are studying while taking measures against the infection of the new coronavirus.
Entrance exams for private junior high schools in Hokkaido are scheduled for 10 schools from the 7th to the beginning of the week, in line with the winter vacation of elementary school students.
At the preparatory school in Kita-ku, Sapporo, where about 30 sixth graders who are taking the junior high school exam attend, classes are conducted while taking measures against infection.
After thoroughly disinfecting the hands, the children take classes in the classroom at intervals.
In addition, in the classroom, lessons are held with about 10 people, which is 70% less than the normal capacity, and even when teaching one-on-one, we try to do it through the anti-flying sheet.
According to this prep school, there are concerns that the amount of learning will decrease and there will be a big difference in academic ability due to the effects of a series of schools that are closed due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection.
Daiki Iwamoto, chief of the Sapporo Kita block of Shuei Preparatory School, said, "This year, the 6th grade children had a hard time because of the corona sickness, but I hope they will survive the exam and do their best toward junior high school life." I was talking.
