[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Jang Seok-woong, Superintendent of Education of Jeonnam, visited Namak High School on the 27th, where this year's CSAT will be held, to check the exam environment changed due to COVID-19 quarantine guidelines and to encourage the third-year high school examinees.

On this day, Superintendent Jang thoroughly checked the COVID-19 quarantine situation assuming the actual situation on the day of the college entrance CSAT scheduled for December 3 at Namak High School, and urged the officials to prepare thoroughly.

This year's CSAT will be conducted by dividing the test sites into general test sites, separate test sites, and hospital test sites according to the risk level of COVID-19 infection, and a total of 53 test sites will be operated in 7 test districts in Jeonnam province.

In particular, for the safety of examinees, the number of people per exam room was reduced from the existing 28 to 24, and the number of exam rooms was organized into 793 rooms, an increase of 175 rooms compared to last year.

Also, starting one week before the CSAT, all high schools will switch to remote classes to conduct disinfection at the test site schools, and to block droplet infection, quarantine partitions will be installed on the desks of all examinees.

Examinees must wear masks rated KF80 or higher inside the test site, and during lunch time, gathering to eat together is prohibited; they must prepare individual lunch boxes and drinking water and eat at their own seats inside the exam room.

Superintendent Jang Seok-woong said, “We will do our best in managing and operating quarantine at the CSAT test sites to ensure that all Jeonnam examinees can take the exam in a safe environment, and we will make thorough preparations for COVID-19 quarantine. I hope the examinees manage their final studies and health well during the remaining period to achieve the best results.”

The Jeonnam Office of Education is operating a ‘CSAT Quarantine TF Team’ led by the vice superintendent, establishing quarantine measures to build a safe CSAT test site environment from COVID-19 and to ensure stable CSAT operation.
