'The Era of Ontact Now' … Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education, Online 'High School Admission' System

Building a Web (Mobile) System from Application Submission to Successful Candidate Registration

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] The Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education announced on the 14th that it will establish and implement an online high school admission system that processes everything from application writing to successful candidate registration through a web (mobile) system starting from the 2021 academic year high school admission screening.

The online high school admission system is described by the Office of Education as a measure to secure the trust of parents and students, standardize the admission screening process, and improve work procedures to reduce teachers' workload. They have secured 121.88 million KRW in the second supplementary budget and plan to complete the project by December.

Until now, the high school admission screening has operated a grade calculation program based on the NEIS system since 2013. From the 2019 academic year, the application writing and assignment system has been operated only for general high schools in the Pohang city equalization area. This NEIS-based system is planned to be applied to all high school applicants and middle and high schools in the province.

The NEIS-based web (mobile) online high school admission system provides a one-stop service from application writing (student and parent) → application submission and reception (school) → posting of successful candidates → registration of successful candidates. Through system establishment, it is expected to prevent duplicate applications, provide real-time reception status, and ensure fairness in evaluation results and department assignments.

Superintendent Jong-sik Lim stated, "Based on accurate data from NEIS, we will realize more trusted Gyeongbuk education by introducing a safe and stable high school admission screening suitable for the non-face-to-face era, where students and parents directly write applications via mobile."
