Busan Metropolitan Office of Education Announces the '2020 1st Elementary, Middle, and High School Equivalency Exam'

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jonghyo] The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education announced the implementation plan for the '2020 1st Elementary, Middle, and High School Graduation Equivalency Examination' on the 6th through the Office of Education's website.

This year's exam differs from previous years in two aspects: exam questions and eligibility. The elementary school equivalency exam questions will be based on the '2015 Revised Curriculum' instead of the previous '2009 Revised Curriculum.' The middle and high school equivalency exam questions will apply the '2009 Revised Curriculum' this year and will switch to the '2015 Revised Curriculum' starting in 2021.

Graduates of elementary and middle schools in the relevant year are considered enrolled students until the end of February regardless of their graduation ceremony date, thus they are restricted from taking the 1st middle and high school equivalency exam.

The application period is from 9 a.m. on February 17 to 6 p.m. on February 21. Application forms are issued and submitted at the application office located on the basement level 1 of the Busan Office of Education. Online applications are accepted from 9 a.m. on the 17th to 6 p.m. on the 20th. The exam will be held on April 11 at seven testing centers.

Successful candidates will be announced on May 7 at 10 a.m. through the Office of Education's website.
