Due to the spread of the corona19 group infection at the Itaewon Club, parents are demanding that they should postpone attending school as the number of underage adults increases.

The Ministry of Education is in a position to watch the results of epidemiological investigations by the quarantine authorities and trends in the spread of infectious diseases.

According to the Central Defense Response Headquarters, 119 confirmed corona19-related corporation of the Itaewon Club, compiled by the quarantine authorities until noon yesterday (13th).

Of these, 11 (9.2%) have confirmed minors under the age of 19.

They are believed to have been secondarily infected by institutes and tutors who have been to Itaewon nightlife.

School teachers are also known to have visited entertainment facilities in Itaewon and other places before and after the Golden Holiday.

The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education said that 158 ​​faculty members in Seoul had visited the entertainment districts such as Itaewon and Nonhyeon between 29th and 6th this month.

In other cities and provinces, dozens of native teachers and faculty members visited Seoul's entertainment district during the holidays.

It is also revealed that students over the age of 19, who have not yet graduated from high school, have visited an entertainment facility.

An art high school student in Seoul visited the Itaewon Club during the holiday season, and it is said that this student is now an adult and attended the club twice before attending practical classes.

There are about 1,000 adult students over the age of 19 at high schools across the country.

As of last year, 1,893 high school students were over 19 years old.

There were 1,350 people 19 years old, 173 people 20 years old, and 370 people 21 years and older.

Teachers and parents are concerned that high school students over the age of 19 often go to entertainment facilities with friends who have become college students and workers.

The Ministry of Education deferred the first week of school attendance, which was about to start from high school yesterday, to 20 days a week, and it is said that it will watch the analysis of the quarantine authorities during the week.

An official from the Ministry of Education said, "If there is no major change, we will be able to announce whether we will postpone additional school attendance as early as this weekend as early as next week."

The Ministry of Education, which has already postponed the schedule for attending school 5 with Corona 19, is struggling with saying, 'I can't put off attending school until now.'

High school 3, which meets the 'D-200 days of the College Scholastic Ability Test' on this Sunday (17th), is expected to attend school in May to fill in the school records and to take the midterm exam for the first semester this year. .

Problems such as the limitations of caring for single-parent and single-parent families, lack of personality education through friendship, and concerns about lack of basic education can be resolved only when students start school.

For this reason, it was reported that the Ministry of Education also had to start school by thoroughly conducting school life prevention (keeping distance in life).

Deputy Minister of Education Baek Beom-beom appeared on the radio yesterday and said, "High 3 thinks they will go to school on the 20th unless the situation changes significantly. However, High 2 and below will consult with the quarantine authorities again." One week, when high school 2 goes to school, high school 1 is discussing how to go to school by crossing each other, such as in a remote class. "

School life prevention manuals are already available.

Contents such as screening suspected symptomatics at home and school gates before attending school, sending suspected symptomatics to the screening center immediately if they appear, and remaining students self-isolation for 2 weeks, waiting for epidemiological investigation results, etc. .

However, parents are reluctant to send school if there is a possibility that there will be one corona19 confirmer from the school.

Parents Jung Mo (49) said, "When I saw the announcement from the Ministry of Education, it is like, 'If there is one confirmed person while continuing to be ventilated, it is okay to quarantine and remote classes right away.' It is difficult. "

"It is highly likely that teenagers will carry asymptomatic pregnancies, but it seems that there is no clear countermeasure against school quarantine."

An educator who asked for anonymity said, "The heightened anxiety of parents is because the Ministry of Education is only repeating 'soldering prescriptions' by delaying school days little by little." I have to present. "
