Yongin City Presents Solution to Mitigate Learning Gap Caused by COVID-19

[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun] Yongin Central Library has prepared measures to address children's academic loss and educational disparities that have emerged as social issues due to COVID-19.

The library will present solutions through online lectures held over three sessions from the 5th to the 17th of next month, targeting elementary students and their parents.

The lectures, themed "Elementary Life Mastery Series," will feature active elementary school teachers and renowned authors in the field of elementary education who will provide solutions to academic loss and educational disparities arising from COVID-19.

In particular, the lectures will comprehensively cover diverse topics including learning guidance by type, living habits necessary to enhance students' self-directed learning abilities, and the role of parents.

On the 5th, Lee Jin-hyuk, a teacher at Guryong Elementary School in Namyangju and author of "The Power of Elementary Home Study," will discuss methods to build "foundational study stamina" so students remain unshaken regardless of when, where, or how they study. On the 8th, Lee Sang-hak, a teacher at Baekhwa Elementary School in Taean, Chungcheongnam Province and author of "No School Year Is More Important Than Third Grade," will propose teaching methods by semester, vacation, and subject.

Finally, on the 17th, Mentor Writer Lim, author of "Complete Learning Bible" and an education mentor for the past 12 years, will introduce "complete learning method" that can help children develop proper study emotions.

A library official stated, "We hope this lecture series will help children develop self-directed learning abilities," and added, "We will continue to operate diverse programs to bridge the learning gap going forward."
