More than 4,700 elementary, middle and high schools, including elementary, and high schools, closed or adjusted their school hours due to heavy snow in Gyeonggi Province for the second day.
Some schools in Suwon and Yongin were temporarily closed due to safety problems in school and disruptions in school meals due to the collapse of facilities, while most elementary schools were closed in Gwacheon, and many middle and high schools adjusted their school hours to 10 o'clock.
Suwon City sent an official letter to 719 daycare centers in its jurisdiction to recommend closure.
Earlier, the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education urged schools at all levels to close down, saying they were concerned about safety accidents due to heavy snow and falling temperatures, and asked them to operate an emergency contact network to understand the safety situation.
Governor Kim Dong-yeon also requested the recommendation of closing elementary schools and kindergartens in the province.
