Beginning today, the first day of school, students attending school every day are the first and second graders of elementary school, kindergarten students, and senior high school students.
It is for those in the lower grades where a caring gap may occur and for those grades who are in urgent need of guidance on career paths for college admission.
For the rest of the school year, students can attend school up to two-thirds, so they are adjusted by school, such as every other week or every other day.
Distance classes are still concurrent, but from this semester, online performance assessments will be available in all subjects.
Even if a student isn't coming to school, they can be evaluated by submitting a video of the student doing the assignment.
Also, if you take it within a week, attendance at distance classes has been granted, but now you have to take it within three days.
Currently, the number of students attending school in the new semester has been expanded as it is currently in the second stage of distancing the metropolitan area and 1.5 stages in the non-capital area.
Education and childcare facilities are scheduled to receive vaccinations in the third quarter, and the educational authorities are discussing with the quarantine authorities to accelerate the vaccination period in consideration of expanding classes to school.
