[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The first nationwide academic assessment of the year for second-year and first-year high school students in the Busan area will be conducted in two sessions on the 16th and 18th.

This academic assessment will be held in 16 metropolitan and provincial offices of education nationwide, excluding the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education. In Busan, 22,505 first-year students from 107 schools and 23,904 second-year students from 107 schools will respectively take the test.

The second-year assessment date was changed to the 16th, when second-year students attend school, considering regional factors such as alternating weekly attendance by grade level to minimize density within schools. The first-year assessment will be held on the 18th, the same day as the mock College Scholastic Ability Test for third-year students.

In accordance with the COVID-19 infection prevention manual, lunchtime will be extended from the original 50 minutes by 20 minutes to 70 minutes to minimize contact between students.

For students in schools operating with attendance suspension and remote classes according to attendance operation guidelines, test questions will be provided through an online system.

Compared to last year, second-year mathematics will be conducted in a common format without the choice between type A and type B, and the first-year inquiry area will change from absolute evaluation last year to relative evaluation. For the second-year inquiry area, students can select up to two subjects regardless of the division between social studies and science.

Individual scores such as standard scores, percentiles, and grades for this academic assessment will be provided through each school after July 6.

Byun Yong-kwon, Director of Secondary Education at the City Office of Education, said, “This academic assessment evaluates the achievement level of students on the material studied during winter vacation and online classes,” adding, “Based on these results, it will be helpful for students to identify areas for improvement in each subject and establish study plans.”
