A total of 312 million students, both first and second graders in the nation, first and second graders in middle schools, and fourth, fifth and sixth graders in elementary schools, started online today.

Education officials said they prepared for connection delays by changing the access method of the EBS online class from a central login to a local login for each school and expanding the e-learning server.

However, even today, there was a delay in accessing everywhere.

Students complained that they were not able to connect to the e-learning site on the SNS and were doing self-study or errors.

[Middle school students using the e-learning site: Even if you log in in advance, there is still a delay, so it does not enter (video) and continues to load.

In the case of Widurang, a learning management platform, there were many cases in which attendance verification was not possible because access was not possible at all.

The EBS online class also has complaints that the site is slow.

The Ministry of Education explained that there was no big problem with the whole system, but at the same time, there were delays in some areas such as Seoul due to the large number of visitors.

Elementary school students who have not started school until today begin their remote classes on the last day of the 20th.
