[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 8th that it will hold a 'Student Evaluation Fairness Enhancement Briefing' three times from the 7th to the 12th for vice principals of high schools and evaluation officers of education support offices in Jeonnam.

This briefing aims to establish measures to ensure fairness in student evaluations for the second semester and to deliver evaluation guidelines for responding to different stages of COVID-19 social distancing.

It also emphasized strict adherence to academic performance management guidelines and thorough security management to enhance the basic principles of student evaluation: objectivity, fairness, transparency, and reliability.

Specifically, it proposed ▲establishing a security management plan for regular exams ▲regular self-inspections through checklists at each evaluation stage ▲excluding staff whose children or relatives attend the school from evaluation-related tasks.

The briefing included examples of strengthening the review of test questions in the academic performance management guidelines and operating an 'appeal period' to handle appeals fairly according to procedures.

Park Kyung-hee, Director of Secondary Education, said, “The direction of evaluation pursued by Jeonnam education is an evaluation where students grow, where teachers’ professionalism is strengthened, and where fairness and transparency are ensured.” She added, “By manualizing the entire evaluation process from test creation to result processing according to the schedule, we will maximize the fairness of student evaluations.”
