Gyeonggi Office of Education to Support Quarantine Personnel and Remote Learning Assistants Ahead of School Opening

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education is set to support school quarantine personnel and remote learning assistants ahead of the reopening of kindergartens, grades 1-2 in elementary school, grade 3 in middle school, and grade 2 in high school.

On the 26th, the Gyeonggi Office of Education announced that as a measure to ensure student safety, it will provide over 4,500 quarantine personnel to standalone kindergartens, elementary, middle, high schools, and special schools until the end of July. Additionally, support for remote learning assistants who have been helping with school academic operations will be extended to assist remote classes for students from dual-income families, low-income households, and single-parent families.

Regarding quarantine personnel, the Gyeonggi Office of Education plans to actively utilize after-school instructors and retired teachers. The number of quarantine staff per school will be supported differentially based on the number of classes and students.

These personnel will assist with overall school quarantine tasks such as student temperature checks during arrival times and disinfecting school supplies.

The Gyeonggi Office of Education will also continue emergency care services that help students attending school during online remote learning periods even after reopening, and plans to expand the operation of existing after-school care classrooms and the 'Dahamtge Kumteo' classrooms for students in grades 3 to 6.

They will actively guide community-based care programs such as 'Dahamtge Dolmom Center', 'Community Child Centers', and 'After-School Academies' operated by local governments to support care projects linked with the community.

Meanwhile, minimizing student density per school is set as the basic principle for operating in-person classes, and detailed academic operation methods will be autonomously decided by schools after gathering opinions from teachers, students, and parents.

Each school level can decide on measures reflecting parents' and students' opinions, such as ▲ staggered attendance by grade and class ▲ concurrent operation of remote and in-person classes ▲ morning and afternoon sessions by class unit ▲ flexible class hours.

School meals can also be provided according to school circumstances, including ready-made products like bread and rice cakes, simple cooked meals like fried rice, and regular meals.

Furthermore, the Gyeonggi Office of Education plans to minimize burdens on school sites by discouraging unnecessary training sessions, workshops, and meetings so that faculty can focus on student safety and classes, and by eliminating factors that cause excessive administrative work.
