Superintendent Lim Jong-sik expressed gratitude, saying, "I thank the teachers who have worked hard to prevent academic dropout despite the restrictions on in-person classes and the emotional instability of students due to COVID-19," and promised, "We will continue to provide wholehearted support to prevent academic dropout."
