With the start of the school semester being postponed until April 6th because of the COVID-19, a middle school in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province is handing out textbooks to students & parents in the 'drive-thru' fashion.
On March 18th, according to the parents of Pungcheon Middle School in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do Province, the school has been handing out the new textbooks for two days since that day at the main gate. On the first day, the textbooks were distributed to 87 students in the 9 classes of the first grade by one-hour intervals respectively. The textbooks will also be handed out for second and third graders in the morning and afternoon on the 19th.
The school sent a letter titled 'Textbook Distribution Plan', which says the school parents can drive past, prove their identities in the car, and receive the textbooks. Also, it says the parents or students who can't bring their cars can 'walk in and get the books.'
And as a precaution, the school urged their students and the school parents to 'keep the designated time, wear a mask, and maintain the social distance.'
