[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] First and second graders in elementary school will participate in remote classes using television and assignments instead of smart devices such as smartphones and laptops.

The Ministry of Education announced on the 5th that starting from the 6th, EBS broadcasts for first and second graders in elementary school will be available not only on cable but also on terrestrial channels (EBS 2TV).

Programs related to subjects such as Korean and mathematics, as well as integrated subjects and creative experiential activities, will be broadcast.

Even after the online school opening on the 20th, the Ministry of Education will support participation in remote classes without smart devices by utilizing EBS broadcast content and learning kits. The learning kits, consisting of worksheets and other materials, will be provided by homeroom teachers via mail or other means. Afterwards, consultations with guardians will be conducted.

Student attendance can be confirmed through class room comments between parents and homeroom teachers, text messages, etc. Evaluations related to watching EBS broadcasts and using learning kits will be recorded by homeroom teachers in the student records after in-person classes resume.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education Yoo Eun-hae said, "We will take greater care to allow each student to choose various customized educational activities suitable for their developmental stage."
