Seoul Metropolitan Superintendent Cho Hee-yeon said on the 18th, "If the Corona 19 crisis intensifies, you should be able to postpone the college mathematics test for a month and review the school classes."

"The Corona 19 is fluid, uncertain and has the potential to change rapidly," said Superintendent Cho when he announced the Seoul Regional Kindergarten School District's Kindergarten and Elementary, Middle, and High School 'Study School Operations Plan' on this day.

Assistant Superintendent Cho said, "Currently, high school attendance is not enough to postpone." Accordingly, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education decided to attend school by accepting the policies of the Ministry of Education and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The third year of high school in Seoul will start school every day starting on the 20th.

The Department of Education recommended the operation of biweekly by grade level or by class in the first and second grades.

Assistant Superintendent Cho said that the crisis in the Itaewon club should be delayed from 13 days to 20 days a week, and the Ministry of Education accepted it.

Assistant Superintendent Cho also said that the situation in Corona 19 should be prepared in the future.

He said, "SAT can be postponed up to a month in the current frame without the introduction of a new school year in September." "It is impossible for college to open on April 1st."

In addition, he added, "In the Corona 19 crisis, we must keep all possibilities open, including one month of SAT, which is a possible option within the current framework."

The superintendent's comments seem to have a subtle difference in temperature from the central government's view of the possibility of changing the SAT schedule.

Deputy Minister of Education Park Baek-beom said in a recent press conference, "If high school attends school before the end of May, there is no big change in the schedule of enrollment, so we are not planning to change the schedule of university entrance exams such as SAT."

The SAT date was originally November 19, but the Ministry of Education was delayed two weeks to December 3 due to the Corona 19 incident.

Assistant Superintendent Cho said, "If the corona crisis intensifies, high school students must also review school."
