[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 6th that it will conduct preliminary orientation sessions for new elementary school entrants at all public elementary schools in Seoul on the 8th. The orientation hours will be extended until 8 PM to accommodate working parents.


The sessions will be held at 562 schools, excluding 4 schools that are closed, out of all public elementary schools in Seoul, with 71,356 eligible students. Guardians and children must attend the orientation, submit the school admission notice received from the community center to the school, and complete the enrollment registration. However, guardians who have already submitted the admission notice online through the online submission service do not need to submit it again on the orientation day.


When registering for admission, children who have not completed electronic vaccination registration must submit a vaccination certificate, and guardians who wish to apply for after-school care must fill out and submit individual application forms for each school.


Guardians and children who cannot attend the orientation due to unavoidable circumstances must contact the school in advance to explain their absence. If prior contact is not possible, they should visit the school for registration as soon as possible or contact the school to express their intention to register.


Starting this year, orientation hours will be extended into the evening. In addition to the existing session from 2 PM to 4:40 PM, attendance is also possible between 4 PM and 8 PM.



For private elementary schools, orientation dates may vary according to each school's schedule, so inquiries should be made directly to the schools.
