Yangcheon-gu Supports School Disinfection Helpers for New Semester Preparation

Placement of quarantine assistants in 65 kindergartens and elementary, middle, and high schools for safe school attendance... Support for daily quarantine including temperature checks during arrival and dismissal, and disinfection of supplies

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) will support one quarantine assistant each at 65 kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools in the district to create a safe educational environment for students in line with the new semester opening.

Last year, the district also supported quarantine manager personnel at about 50 schools in the area through Hope Workplaces.

The district conducted a demand survey targeting kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools in the area and finalized 65 supported schools: 16 kindergartens, 29 elementary schools, 10 middle schools, and 10 high schools. They identified the arrival and dismissal times for each school and flexibly adjusted working hours.

The school quarantine assistants, utilizing the Seoul City job project, will work about 5 months from the end of February to the end of July, 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. Their main roles include checking students' temperatures during arrival and dismissal, guiding social distancing during mobile classes and lunch breaks, and disinfecting items to help students maintain daily quarantine measures.

On the 22nd of last month, pre-education emphasizing the field's specificity prioritizing student safety was conducted for the quarantine assistants. Before the semester starts, they will focus on intensive disinfection of school facilities, and after the semester begins, they will fulfill their roles as quarantine assistants.

Kim Soo-young, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, stated, “With online remote education increasing parents' anxiety about learning gaps among students, expectations for a safe school reopening are high. Through supporting quarantine assistants, we will ensure more thorough quarantine so that students can focus safely on their studies and parents can feel reassured.”
