View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Two days before the second online school opening, it was revealed that about 10,000 students who applied for smart devices have not yet received them.
On the 14th, after the New Semester Opening Promotion Team meeting, the Ministry of Education briefed reporters, stating, "Busan, Daegu, Incheon, and 13 other metropolitan and provincial offices of education have completed lending to 147,840 applicants, and four offices of education including Seoul and Gyeonggi plan to complete lending to about 13,000 people by today."
Following the online school opening on the 9th, issues such as connection errors have occurred for two consecutive days. The Ministry of Education is actively taking measures to stabilize the EBS Online Class and e-Hakseupter. The EBS Online Class has simplified the login process to distribute logins and improved upload network speed to prepare for connection delays. From 4 p.m. today, a system load test based on student and teacher usage patterns will be conducted in preparation for the full opening on the 16th. The e-Hakseupter, expected to be mainly used by elementary school students, has added authentication servers and expanded the system from 5 regions to 12 to enable stable service use.
