1st and 2nd Graders Begin Television Based Instruction Via EBS on April 20th

This is going to be tough for parents to stomach that try to limit the amount of time kids spend in front of a television:

 In a new learning environment in South Korea created by the coronavirus outbreak, getting glued to the television screen won’t be such a bad thing for young students.

The education ministry announced on Sunday that, starting on April 20, first and second graders in elementary school will be following instructions offered in TV programs and handout materials, rather than through live online classes like older students. Those programs will air on the state-run Educational Broadcasting System (EBS).
