Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education Extends 'Minimizing Density' in Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle, and High Schools Until the 20th
Due to the extension of social distancing level 2, in-person classes for kindergarten, elementary, and middle schools limited to 1/3 attendance, and high schools to within 2/3 attendance
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education announced on the 7th that it will extend the implementation of measures to minimize school density until the 20th, in accordance with the nationwide extension of social distancing level 2.
Accordingly, kindergartens, elementary, and middle schools in the province will continue to operate in-person classes reflecting local and school conditions with school density kept within one-third, while high schools will maintain density within two-thirds.
According to the strengthened measures to minimize density, kindergartens will have up to 15 students per class including care services, and elementary and middle schools will maintain density within one-third. High schools will maintain density within two-thirds, with 3rd-year high school students (Godeung 3) attending school daily as a principle. However, small schools with fewer than 60 students and schools located in farming and fishing villages may partially relax density minimization measures in consultation with local quarantine authorities.
Emergency care based on parental demand and school conditions will also be extended until the 20th, providing uninterrupted support for elementary students in dual-income families or those who urgently need care.
