The Korea Education and Research Information Service (KERIS) conducted the "Elementary, Middle, and High School Remote Learning Status Survey" from the 27th of last month to the 3rd of this month, targeting 94,624 students and parents. In this online survey, KERIS broadly categorized students' daily activities into four areas: learning, sleep, rest, and development. Then, they compared and analyzed how students allocated their 24 hours per day during regular semesters, vacations, and the school reopening delay period caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The results showed that students cut their study time to less than half while slightly increasing time spent sleeping, resting, and on personal development. Respondents reported spending 9.0 hours on study, 8.1 hours sleeping, 3.2 hours resting, and 1.9 hours on development during a regular semester day. However, during the school reopening delay period, they spent 4.4 hours studying, 9.1 hours sleeping, 4.9 hours resting, and 2.4 hours on development. The time allocation during the reopening delay was similar to that during regular vacation periods. During vacations, students allocated their time as 4.5 hours studying, 9.0 hours sleeping, and 4.6 hours resting.

With most private academies closed due to COVID-19, the time spent attending classes at academies also decreased compared to usual. Respondents answered that they spent 1.6 hours during regular semesters and 1.8 hours during vacations attending academy classes, but only 1.1 hours during the school reopening delay period. Instead, the time spent studying at home through internet lectures and other digital devices slightly increased. Average digital device study time was 0.8 hours during regular semesters, 1.2 hours during vacations, and 1.7 hours during the reopening delay period.
