this way, middle and high school students go to high school, and elementary school goes to low school. Kindergarten also goes to high school 3 and opens the door in the second order the next week. Only the daycare centers with many infants and toddlers are open.

Except for high school 3, the fact that it was an unexpected decision to set the kindergarten opening date to 20 days is a general evaluation both inside and outside the educational community.

This is because kindergarten students aged 3 to 5 years have relatively weak immunity.

Nevertheless, the Ministry of Education's inclusion on the 20th school day is interpreted as the kind of kindergarten that remote classes themselves are difficult.

In addition, it was also considered that in the case of remote classes, an educational gap may occur due to the help of parents, and about 1 in 4 children are already enrolled for reasons of emergency care, such as working together.

However, daycare centers are not included in the opening schedule.

Private daycare centers are very sorry for the government's decision.

The reason is that 57% of all childcare centers already attend nursery schools, so there is no reason to postpone opening.

government will decide whether to open the daycare center after June after watching elementary, middle, high school, and kindergarten openings.
