SEOUL: For the first time since South Korea began battling its coronavirus outbreak in early 2020, all schools across the country have resumed full-time in-person classes.

As the first country outside China to face a major outbreak of the virus, South Korea’s schools have seen various stages of shutdowns, remote learning, and hybrid arrangements.
