In response to the rapid spread of infection in Tokyo, Shinjuku Ward has decided to carry out decentralized school attendance using remote lessons at ward elementary and junior high schools from the 24th next week.
While the number of confirmed infections in Tokyo is the highest ever, the number of children infected in Shinjuku Ward is increasing.
For this reason, the ward has decided to divide each of the ward elementary and junior high schools into two classes from the 24th next week, and to carry out decentralized school attendance in the form of morning and afternoon.
We will respond to children who do not go to school by utilizing remote lessons, and we will distribute lessons to children and students who voluntarily refrain from going to school due to the spread of infection, and follow up on learning, such as school children's clubs. Will be available from the morning.
In addition, from the 24th of this month, we will start decentralized kindergartens and staggered kindergartens, and from the 21st of the nursery schools, we will refrain from going to the kindergartens if we can obtain the cooperation of parents' workplaces. It is calling for a reduction in childcare time.
In both cases, the deadline is until the 13th of next month, which is the period of priority measures such as prevention of spread. Since the number of people is limited, we would like to aim to prevent the spread of infection by controlling the number of people. "
