Even During Vacation, 'Yeolgong' Mode... Gyeongnam Office of Education Prevents Learning Loss with Online Nuri Classroom

311 Real-Time Interactive Classes Added

Over 12,400 Elementary Students in the Province Studying

Gyeongnam Office of Education adds 311 real-time interactive classes and over 5,300 sessions to the online Nuri Classroom to prevent learning loss during the vacation.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Se-ryeong Lee] The Gyeongnam Office of Education is helping children continue their studies during the winter vacation by adding 311 real-time interactive classes and over 5,300 sessions to the online Nuri Classroom.

The "Online Nuri Classroom" is a student-tailored learning program that serves as a future-oriented platform school outside of traditional schools, allowing any elementary student in Gyeongnam to attend classes regardless of time, place, or region.

So far, over 1,000 active teachers have opened 1,016 courses, providing more than 16,200 sessions.

To compensate for learning loss, the additional courses added to the Online Nuri Classroom saw over 5,000 elementary students apply for classes within three days starting from the 10th, and more than 12,400 students are currently studying.

The Gyeongnam Office of Education anticipated that students would spend more time at home during the vacation and added sessions after receiving course opening requests from active teachers before the vacation began.

The newly added courses include subject programs such as "Math Classroom to Complete During Vacation," "Ssudam Ssudam 1st and 2nd Grade Korean Classroom," and "Picture Book Thought Dialogue," as well as non-subject programs like "Banggu-seok Rich Class," "Home Training," and "Pop Song Classroom."

The Gyeongnam Office of Education reported that in areas lacking private learning facilities such as academies and with a flood of consultation calls from parents of lower-grade students, both teachers and students can participate at ease, leading to a rapid increase in enrolled students.

Elementary students across Gyeongnam can attend desired video lectures in real time, which is expected to bridge regional learning gaps and supplement learning even during the vacation.

Superintendent Park Jong-hoon expressed gratitude for the teachers' efforts to guide students during the vacation and stated, "In the 2022 academic year, we will establish new programs for educationally vulnerable groups such as multicultural students and newly arrived students, and steadily expand individualized courses for students to eliminate regional and learning disparities."
