The first quarter of this year, the date of starting school (elementary, middle, and high school) was indefinitely postponed in Korea.
Almost every school has afterschool classes, and there are more than one hundred thousand of teachers for these classes. They are temporary employee of each school, so their livelihoods were at risk as the schools had no specific plan to begin the afterschool classes again.
So we, A-PAD Korea, opened a You-tube channel and paid 10 afterschool teachers for uploading their teaching videos for 3 months, from April to July.
Thanks to this project, teacher’s financial burden was decreased, and students also could have diverse classes because these 10 teachers have very different kind of classes, although they could not take these classes in person.
Furthermore, the teachers could get portfolio for themselves suing these videos, so this channel is also used to promote their own classes after all.
Of course the quality and content of each video could not be same, so they have different number of views, Bang Bang School has almost 300 subscribers and most popular video of this channel has 3300 views so far.
