Dongjak-gu Holds 1:1 Admission Consulting for 2021 Academic Year Early Admission Preparation

Recruiting 112 High School Seniors, Repeat Students, and Parents Living in Dongjak-gu from August 4 to 13... 40-Minute Individual Consultations at District Office Auditorium on August 29-30

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Chang-woo Lee) will hold the ‘2021 College Entrance Customized 1:1 Admission Consulting’ to provide accurate admission information to examinees and parents.

This year, as the number of universities changing their admission processes has increased due to the regional spread of COVID-19, the difficulties faced by students preparing for college entrance exams have intensified.

Accordingly, the district will recruit a total of 112 local examinees (high school seniors and repeaters) and parents to provide personalized admission consulting.

Applications will be accepted for 10 days from August 4 to 13 and will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis by ranking through the district’s website. Residents of the district are given first priority, and students attending high schools within the district but residing in other districts are given second priority, prioritizing local examinees.

Selection results will be individually notified on the 20th, and consultations will be held over two days on August 29 and 30 at the district office auditorium. Each consultation will last 40 minutes, conducted by eight active teachers belonging to the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education’s College Admission Guidance Team.

The district has also prepared thorough quarantine measures against COVID-19. To disperse participants, the one-day admission consulting held last year has been expanded to two days, and the number of consultations per time slot has been reduced to eight.

On the day of the event, all participants will enter only after ▲wearing masks ▲temperature checks ▲hand sanitization. To secure distance between consulting teachers and students, the table size will be increased from the existing 60cm to 90cm, and transparent partitions will be installed.

Last July, the district conducted 1:1 consulting for a total of 220 people, including 119 for early admissions and 101 for regular admissions in December, achieving an average satisfaction rate of 93% for the 2020 academic year college entrance preparation.

Yoon So-yeon, Director of the Education Policy Division, said, “We will provide diverse and accurate admission information through consulting to students and parents struggling due to COVID-19,” and added, “We ask everyone to strictly follow COVID-19 quarantine rules on the day of the event.”

Since May, the district has been conducting monthly ‘1:1 Career and College Counseling’ at Sangdo National Library and Dongjak-gu Office meeting rooms to support not only high school seniors but also first and second-year prospective examinees in deciding and preparing their career paths in advance.
