South Korea Announces Plan to Return Schools to Full In-Person Instruction

Here is something good that is happening for South Korea’s school age kids:

Students arrive at an elementary school in Seoul, Monday. While schools currently offer both in-person and online classes that follow the COVID-19 pandemic social distancing guidelines, the education ministry aims to resume in-person classes fully starting from the second semester. Yonhap

Supporters of the plan say the quality of education has deteriorated and that a learning gap between children has widened due to online classes conducted over the past year, while opponents say that the full-fledged resumption of in-person classes should be decided carefully as there is still a risk of virus transmissions inside classrooms.
