서울 고3 20일부터 매일 등교…초중고 원격•등교수업 병행
Ending the months-long school shutdown amid the COVID-19 outbreak, schools will start to gradually open classes this week.
Ahead of that, Seoul's education office announced its guidelines today: While high school seniors will go back to school this Wednesday and will need to check in for face-to-face class everyday, the rest of the grades will alternate between online and offline schooling.
Yoon Jung-min tells us more.
Schools in Seoul will gradually open after their months-long closure due to COVID-19,... starting with third-year high-school students from this Wednesday.
According to Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education on Monday,... third-year high school students will go to school every day from Wednesday as they have to prepare for college exams this year.
For other grades, schools in Seoul can decide on their own how they're going to run classes.
High schools are recommended to hold classes every other week for first and second year students.
Options include opening classes once a week, or separating students into morning and afternoon classes.
In those cases, students will study at home through online classes when they're not attending off-line classes.
Class opening dates are staggered based on grades. For example, second-year high school students will start going to school from May 27th,... while first-year high school students will do so from June 3rd.
"Though we have provided curriculum guidelines, we will let schools decide for themselves, respecting the opinions of those involved in education. This is because individual schools have their own concerns and different conditions."
Students at middle and elementary schools in Seoul will be required to attend school at least once a week.
Elementary school students in Seoul will be allowed to take 34 days off school this year more days than they are usually allowed to take off.
Temperatures will be checked twice a day for all students and teaching staff,... with more than 15-hundred thermal cameras installed at schools in Seoul.
The education office has ordered that a distance is kept between students in classes,... and that schools have different lunch time slots based on grades or classes to prevent mass gatherings.
