[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province will provide 200 tablet PCs for students attending classes at home using smart devices due to the 'online school opening.'

On the 12th, Suwon City announced that on the 10th, it delivered 200 tablet PCs to the Suwon Office of Education, requesting them to lend the devices to students who find it difficult to participate in online classes due to the lack of smart devices.
