It's also a typhoon-related news, but there were a lot of schools that were closed or took remote classes due to the influence of Typhoon Hinnamno.
There are also opinions that such a decision may have been hasty in areas that were less affected by the typhoon.
The Seoul Office of Education preemptively decided to close all kindergartens and elementary schools yesterday for fear of typhoon damage.
In particular, there were a lot of dissatisfaction from dual-income families who had no place to leave their children, 'I couldn't take a vacation, so I had no choice but to send my child to a daycare class', 'I don't think Seoul should have decided on the morning of the 6th whether or not to close the school' expressed regret.
In fact, since yesterday morning, the weather in Seoul has cleared out of the typhoon.
On the other hand, there was an opinion that 'safety comes first' and that it was an unavoidable choice to prevent possible damage.
An official from the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education explained, 'The closing on the 6th is a collection of opinions from each education support office,' and 'It was a necessary measure in the situation on the 5th, the day before.'
