Middle schools in the Seoul area have started taking more students in class as their capacity limits have been upped from one-third to two-thirds, despite the capital remaining under level 2 social distancing measures.
The Education Ministry is aiming for full attendance at all schools starting from the second semester in August.

Vocational high schools are now at 100 percent capacity.
Seoul City is sending extra virus prevention officers as well as nurses to schools to accommodate a safe expansion.
