While the spread of Corona19 at home and abroad has not diminished, the Ministry of Education decided to conduct the first 'online schooling'.

Minister of Education Yoo Eun-hye announced on the 31st of today that she will conduct online schooling for all elementary, middle and high schools and special schools in the country, except for kindergartens, through consultation with the Central Disaster Safety Policy Headquarters.

After Corona 19, the opening of school was delayed for about 5 weeks three times, but on the 9th of the following month, the school schedule began in earnest. In particular, in the case of high school 3, which is about to enter, the first academic year starts, and the SAT is given in December for the first time since the introduction of the exam.


The Ministry of Education said that it has comprehensively considered various situations including 'public opinion on school opening' as the basis for this decision. According to a real meter survey of a large number of people on the 29th, 72% of respondents said that 'April 6th school is inadequate.'

There is a response among the high school students who said that the school day was set as late as 'good thing'. In preparation for SAT at the end of this year, you need to plan and prepare for a variety of screening strategies, because if your school day is delayed or opaque, your plans will be disrupted.

However, in the case of the lower grades, there were noticeable comments from parents who were anxious. Parents responded, "Even elementary school students are having difficulties with online classes," and "Even if there are facilities, it seems impossible to take classes by themselves."


A petition related to the opening of the school was said to be approaching the actual wall. In the corresponding petition titled 'Please prepare measures for high school students who are in specialized high school / meister high school' "Please arrange it."

The Ministry of Education, which is the center of the whirlpool in a situation where everyone is experiencing it for the first time, is saying that they will strive to prevent the learning gap by actively utilizing distance learning while making the safety of students a top priority.

This is 'News Pick'.
