Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education Begins 'Non-Face-to-Face Enrollment' for Kindergarten New Students

November 2nd Integrated Website 'Cheoeum Hakgyoro' System Launch

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 26th that, following last year, it will recruit new students for 2021 at all public and private kindergartens (115 public, 226 private) through the integrated website 'Cheoeum Hakgyoro' this year as well.

Starting with the priority recruitment on November 2nd, followed by general recruitment on the 16th and additional recruitment (December to January 2021), the recruitment of young children will be completed by the end of January next year.

The selection lottery method for general recruitment of young children will change from this year. To improve cases of duplicate selection and rejection caused by the previous 'preference order' lottery, children selected in the first priority will be excluded from the lottery for the second and third priority.

For example, if a child applies with Kindergarten A as first preference, Kindergarten B as second preference, and Kindergarten C as third preference, and the child is selected in the first preference, the child will be excluded from the lottery for the second and third preference kindergartens. Therefore, parents are required to make more careful choices when selecting first to third preference kindergartens.

Also, from this year, siblings of graduates will be excluded from the priority selection. In the case of twins, the kindergarten principal has the discretion to include them in the priority recruitment so that they can attend the same kindergarten.

Additionally, for those parents who find it difficult to use the system during the main general recruitment period (November 18-20), pre-registration is available on November 16. Information about kindergartens can be checked from 9 a.m. on the 30th when the 'Cheoeum Hakgyoro' system opens.

Lee Sam-seon, Director of Early Childhood and Special Education at Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education, stated, "Although we adopted 'Cheoeum Hakgyoro' to enhance convenience and fairness for parents, we expect to provide a very useful service by conducting the admission process non-face-to-face due to the recent COVID-19 situation."
