[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 5th that it will hold an online comprehensive briefing session on the high school admission process for the 2021 academic year.

The online comprehensive briefing session is available to any 3rd-year middle school students and their parents. The video topics include ▲ Basic plan for the 2021 high school admission process ▲ Guidance on the superintendent-selected post-secondary high school admission process ▲ Guidance on specialized high schools and Meister high schools admission process ▲ Guidance on self-directed learning admission process for foreign language high schools, international high schools, and autonomous private high schools.

The first video provides a comprehensive explanation of the overall high school admission process based on the basic plan, while the other videos explain detailed information by admission type according to the school type. Each video is composed of curriculum according to school type, career and academic advancement characteristics, admission schedule, frequently asked questions, and more.

Students and parents who need individual academic counseling can receive assistance through the Seoul Career and Academic Information Center's online counseling for high school admission and career guidance. The high school admission inquiry call center is also available by adding the KakaoTalk friend 'Seoul Education Call Center.'

Since the implementation of the high school choice system starting in the 2010 academic year, a 'Q&A Casebook for Parents' reflecting frequently asked questions and newly changed systems and guidelines will be produced and distributed for the first time. Manuals for staff (booklets and videos) and school district maps for middle and high schools will also be produced for the first time to support the reduction of workload related to the high school admission process in educational settings.

The online comprehensive briefing session videos and materials can be found on the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education website, the Seoul High School Promotion Site HiInfo, and the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education YouTube channel, and can also be accessed through online home communications by each school.
