'2021 Online Elementary School Admission Information Session' Held

On the 3rd at 3 PM, Sungdong-gu Office YouTube will feature a current elementary school teacher sharing tips on school admission preparation and adaptation skills.

On December 9th last year, Seongdong-gu held a college entrance briefing session both online and offline.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jeong Won-oh) will hold the ‘2021 Online Elementary School Entrance Briefing Session’ on February 3 for prospective elementary school students and their parents.

The briefing session will be broadcast live online via Seongdong-gu Office’s YouTube channel to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and will last about one hour starting from 3 p.m.

On December 9 last year, the district held a ‘University Entrance Briefing Session’ for local examinees who had completed the College Scholastic Ability Test.

Unlike the previous briefing sessions which were conducted in a hybrid on-offline format, this time, amid the special circumstances of COVID-19 and the gradual strengthening of social distancing measures, the session will be held non-face-to-face to continue communication with residents.

This briefing session aims to provide information for the education of children to prospective elementary school parents who have children entering elementary school for the first time, targeting approximately 2,032 school-age children across 21 elementary schools in Seongdong-gu, thereby supporting a happy school life adaptation for both children and parents by resolving their questions.

In particular, a current head teacher from Geumbuk Elementary School located in the area will give a direct lecture, providing detailed guidance on how to adapt to school life and the curriculum, as well as other necessary preparations for entering elementary school.

Additionally, the session will introduce changes in the school education environment due to COVID-19, efforts that can be made at home for education, how remote classes are conducted at school, and school events that parents must participate in, followed by a separate Q&A session.

Jeong Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, “Due to the impact of COVID-19, gatherings and events have been restricted, so parents may feel frustrated as there is no proper place to ask questions or obtain information. Therefore, we decided to hold an online entrance briefing session.” He added, “The district is making various efforts for students’ career paths and academic advancement, including not only elementary school entrance briefings but also high school entrance briefings and various admission programs through the University Admission Counseling Center. We will continue to show interest and support for students’ futures.”
