A preliminary enrollment session for first-grade students is underway at Ujang Elementary School in Gangseo-gu, western Seoul, on Jan. 6. AJP Yoo Na-hyun |
According to the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, there are 51,265 first-graders this year, down about five percent from last year, as the young population continues to shrink due to the country's ultra-low birthrates.
These sessions are an annual event aimed at preparing students for their upcoming school life. This year, they are being held from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday to accommodate working parents who might not be able to take time off.
