Gyeonggi Office of Education "Recommends that all schools in the jurisdiction are closed at their discretion."

With heavy snowfall continuing for the second day, a heavy snow warning was issued in most parts of Gyeonggi-do, and the Gyeonggi-do Office of Education ordered all schools in the jurisdiction to consider closing at the discretion of the principal.

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education delivered an official letter to each education support office.

The education office said it is concerned about students' safety accidents due to heavy snow and falling temperatures, and actively recommended schools to close down at all levels, and said to operate an emergency contact network to understand the safety situation.
