This meeting focused on sharing South Korea's experience with remote classes to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and discussing educational cooperation measures between the two countries.

Minister Hussein inquired about the process of implementing online school openings and the operation status of remote classes. Deputy Prime Minister Yoo explained, "To prioritize students' safety and health while maximizing their right to learn, we introduced online school openings gradually starting from the 9th for 3rd-year high school and 3rd-year middle school students." She added, "Although there were areas to improve since this was the first experience, most students have participated in remote classes with high attendance rates."
