[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 4th that from the 6th to the 7th, preliminary enrollment sessions will be held at 563 public elementary schools across Seoul.

The number of eligible students is 71,138. Guardians and children must attend the preliminary enrollment session, submit the enrollment notification received from the community center to the school, and complete the registration process.

The preliminary enrollment sessions will be held from 4 PM to 8 PM. Depending on the school's circumstances, non-face-to-face methods such as online preliminary enrollment, video calls, or submission of certificates of attendance from daycare centers or kindergartens are also possible.

If guardians and children are unable to attend the preliminary enrollment session due to circumstances, they must contact the school in advance to express their intention to register and explain the reason for absence. The number of children absent from the preliminary enrollment has increased annually, with 9,705 in 2019 and 11,603 last year.

For private elementary schools, the preliminary enrollment dates may vary according to each school's schedule, so inquiries should be made directly to the respective schools.
