[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] The Gyeongnam Office of Education announced on the 13th that it will produce subject guidance videos to expand students' subject selection rights, a core aspect of the 'High School Credit System' to be fully implemented in the 2025 academic year, and broadcast them through YouTube.

The High School Credit System is a system where students select and complete subjects according to their career paths and aptitudes, and are recognized for graduation once their accumulated credits reach a certain standard.

Ahead of the full implementation of the High School Credit System in 2025, the provincial Office of Education is promoting various policies to operate a student-centered curriculum, including teacher capacity-building training, operation of joint curricula, infrastructure establishment for joint curriculum operation, and support for instructor fees for subjects without assigned teachers.

Additionally, the 'Subject Guide Opening My Dream' was distributed to all general high schools in July to aid more accurate understanding, and a video titled 'My Subject Selection with Seontaeki' was produced.

The 'My Subject Selection with Seontaeki' video is organized into seven fields: Korean, English, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Physical Education & Arts, and Life & Culture. It can be viewed by searching on the Gyeongnam Education Training Institute's online training site, the Office of Education's Naver TV, and YouTube channels.

Hong Jeong-hee, Director of the Curriculum Division, said, "By proactively identifying the needs of schools, this is a very meaningful resource that can enhance the understanding of the curriculum among students, parents, and teachers," adding, "Ahead of the full implementation of the High School Credit System, we plan to support schools as much as possible so that more diverse and specialized curricula can be operated."
