"EBS and Other Educational Sites Data Free Usage Policy Extended for 2 Months"

[Asia Economy Reporter Seolgina Jo] The Ministry of Science and ICT and the Ministry of Education announced on the 30th that they will extend the zero-charge (free) measure for two more months, which does not deduct data usage when accessing major educational sites such as EBS through cooperation with the three mobile carriers on smartphones.

This measure is to ensure that anyone can use major online educational sites without burden as online and offline learning continues due to the impact of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). This is the second extension following the first extension until the end of June.

The target sites include EBS Online Class, EduAble, Entry, Digital Textbook, Widurang, CareerNet, eHakSseupTeo, ScienceALL, and others.

Not only elementary, middle, and high school students but also teachers and parents can use these sites without separate data deduction or additional charges from the data allowance of their subscribed smartphone plans.

More detailed information will be provided through the EBS website and home communication SMS, among other channels.
