<Anchor> As the



distance distancing is eased to the first stage, the class for students attending school is also expanded.

From the 19th of next Monday, elementary and junior high schools will be able to attend school up to two-thirds at a time, so if the morning and afternoon classes are run, all students can attend school.

First, the number of students who can attend elementary and junior high schools increases to two-thirds of the current students.



Elementary school can attend four grades and middle school to two grades, but lower elementary school students who have raised learning gaps and caring issues are able to attend school every day.

Depending on the region or school conditions, full attendance has become possible, but schools and classes in which the number of students exceeds a certain level, and schools in the metropolitan area must maintain a density of two-thirds.



The guidelines for the number of attendees for each step of distance have also changed.



Kindergarten and elementary and junior high schools were unable to attend more than one-third of enrolled students in the previous stage 2, but in the future, the number of students can flexibly increase by up to two-thirds.



In addition, concentrations of around 300 enrolled students are also excluded from the application, and special schools and special class students attend classes every day even in the second stage of distance.
