The Ministry of Education has decided to check the history and current status of foreign national students who are attending elementary, middle and high schools in Korea to strengthen their protection against corona virus infection-19 (Corona 19).

According to the education sector on the 21st, the Ministry of Education announced that it will collect a document by sending an official 'Survey on Foreign Student Monitoring Status' to the national education offices.

The Ministry of Education requested in a letter that "Each city, provincial office of education must fill out the results of the monitoring status of foreign national students on the 20th and submit them to the Ministry of Education by 21st."

International students currently enrolled in school, as well as international students who are waiting for new and transferred students, are included in the survey.

The Ministry of Education requested that each city and provincial office of education find out whether these foreign students have recently visited China (including Hong Kong and Macau) and when they will be entering the country if they are abroad.

The Ministry of Education also issued guidelines for the management of foreign national student protection measures, including the Ministry of Education.

Foreign students, like domestic students, will be suspended from school for 14 days if they enter China.

You must refrain from going out or contacting others during the suspension.

Schools should check with their staff twice a day for their health.

Students entering China must be informed in advance that they will be suspended from school.

The Ministry of Education once again informed us of the guidelines previously announced, "If the number of students coming from China is more than 30%, the school schedule can be adjusted."

If students who have recently been to China need to postpone school openings for corona 19 protection, more than 30% of their students can decide to postpone school at their discretion.

However, consultation with education and defense authorities is required.

Academic schedules can also be adjusted in areas where Corona 19 confirmed patients, areas where there are concerns about spread, and areas where secondary or tertiary infections or active surveillance targets occurred.

As more than 100 corona19 confirmed patients and the first deaths occur, infections in the Corona 19 region are in full swing, which may increase the number of elementary, middle, and high schools that delay school opening.

The Daegu Office of Education previously delayed the opening of kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools in Daegu for the first time in the country the day before.
