Teachers sort out textbooks and gifts for would-be first graders at a classroom of Pajang Elementary School in Suwon, south of Seoul, on March 17, 2020. The government said the same day it has postponed the new school year for the third time as it moves to clamp down on possible cluster infections of the new coronavirus at schools. Under the measure, the new school year at kindergartens and elementary, middle and high schools nationwide will begin April 6, five weeks later compared with other school years. (Yonhap)
