Democratic Party lawmaker Yoo Yoo-hong, chairman of the National Assembly Education Committee, announced on the 27th that he will discuss with the government authorities to restore school classes that have been reduced due to the prolonged period of coronavirus infection (Corona 19).

Rep. Yoo held a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Hall on the afternoon of that day, saying, “Even though the academic calendar for the 21st year is normalized through classes starting in March and going to school, and re-spreading the corona again, we need to prepare for face-to-face classes. I do,” he said.

Rep. Yu said, “As the spread of the third coronavirus pandemic is declining, and if schools adhere to strict quarantine rules, it will not lead to a large-scale group infection, so now we need to expand classes to school in the new semester.”

“Remote classes can be used as a way to complement face-to-face classes under strict quarantine rules, but remote classes themselves cannot be a fundamental alternative.” “Under strict quarantine rules, students in lower grades or special classes (schools) In this case, it is necessary to prepare face-to-face classes according to the situation of each region and school.”

At the same time, the government will discuss △ securing a budget for quarantine personnel for schools for 50,000 students, △ early vaccination for education workers such as caring and health teachers, △ reducing the number of students per class to expand classes with the government.
