Ulsan Office of Education, Pilot Operation of Morning Care Classroom

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education will pilot a morning care classroom for selected schools starting in April to reduce the burden on parents.

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education has planned the morning care classroom called 'Ulsan Neulbom School' and informed the schools. Neulbom School is one of the national projects that supports students in receiving quality after-school education and care before and after regular classes.

Earlier, the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education conducted a survey in January targeting parents, principals, and care specialists to prepare an operation plan for elementary care classrooms, and held a roundtable discussion in February to gather opinions.

Parents expressed a desire for expanded afternoon care classrooms and morning care services where children can be entrusted during morning commute hours. They also requested adjustments to care classroom operating hours during vacations and provision of lunchboxes to participating students.

Accordingly, the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education decided to pilot the morning care classroom from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. starting in April after conducting demand surveys at interested schools.

The morning care classroom will operate before classes for all grades and the hours can be adjusted according to each school's academic schedule.

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education expects that providing morning care before classes will reduce the burden on dual-income parents and create a safe environment where children can be entrusted with peace of mind.

An official from the Office of Education said, “We will develop various care models considering each school's conditions and demands by collecting survey results from parents of all elementary schools and field opinions.”
