[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 16th that it will provide the 2020 academic year standardized region high school freshman assignment results and school registration procedures through its website at 10 a.m. on the 17th.

The assignment results can also be checked at the middle schools of origin, and detailed information must be confirmed on the respective high school websites.

This standardized region high school assignment lottery was conducted on the 15th at the Provincial Office of Education through a computer, observed by about 40 attendees including high school entrance screening committee members, admission lottery management committee members from each school district, and parents.

This year’s assignment was made for 5,488 successful candidates in the standardized region (Mokpo 1,838, Yeosu 1,450, Suncheon 2,200) reflecting students’ preferences by rank grade across a total of 28 high schools: 11 in Mokpo, 7 in Yeosu, and 10 in Suncheon.

In particular, various social demands were reflected, such as allowing standardized assignments for students who failed foreign language high schools, autonomous private high schools, and international high schools, assigning students involved in school violence as perpetrators or victims to different schools, and restricting assignment of children of faculty members to the same school.

Jeonnam has applied the ‘preference assignment by rank grade’ method since the 2015 academic year. According to this year’s assignment results, 73% of students were assigned to their first choice (73% in 2019), and 91% were assigned within their top three choices (90% in 2019), showing no significant difference from the previous year.

The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education supports pre-admission camps by school for high school freshmen and provides ongoing academic, career, and admission counseling for students and parents through regional advancement support centers established in 2019.
