[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, stated on the 21st, "Experts are concerned about a fall resurgence of COVID-19," adding, "In such a case, it is questionable whether this year’s College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) can be conducted normally."

At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Ahn said, "Issues of fairness and equity may arise between repeat test-takers and high school seniors, as well as between students from economically advantaged backgrounds and those who are not."

Ahn emphasized, "The People’s Party has proposed postponing the CSAT date and increasing the number of test sessions to two, reflecting the better score among them," and added, "The government should clarify its position on this matter as soon as possible."

Ahn also said, "Before deciding the school reopening schedule, it is worth considering conducting nationwide antibody tests for the general public and allowing sequential school attendance starting from areas with a higher proportion of antibody carriers."
