[Photo] Expansion of In-Person Classes for Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle, and High Schools Starting Today

On the 19th, when in-person classes for kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high schools nationwide were expanded following the adjustment to Level 1 social distancing, children were attending school at Munbaek Elementary School in Geumcheon-gu, Seoul. According to the education sector, from this day forward, the number of students attending school in all regions nationwide will be increased to two-thirds capacity. Schools in the metropolitan area, as well as oversized schools and overcrowded classes, must comply with this standard, but non-metropolitan areas are allowed to adjust density according to their circumstances, making it possible for all students to attend school daily with 'full in-person attendance.' / Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
