[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The Gyeongbuk Provincial Office of Education announced on the 5th that it will operate the 'Free Semester System-High School Credit System Stepping Stone Program,' which links the 6-year curriculum of middle and high schools, targeting 259 middle schools in the province.

The Office of Education explained that this program aims to alleviate the anxiety of students and parents regarding the transition between middle and high school levels, ensure continuity of the 6-year curriculum through the linkage of the (middle) Free Semester System and the (high) High School Credit System, and support the successful transition of 3rd-year middle school students to higher education levels.

The program consists of ▲ Transition Stepping Stone Program I: High School Preview Program ▲ Transition Stepping Stone Program II: Our School Curriculum Preview Program.

The Transition Stepping Stone Program I was created based on a survey of about 1,000 3rd-year middle school students. This program will be broadcast every Monday starting from the 30th during the creative experiential activity time for 3rd-year middle school students via the official YouTube channel of the Office of Education, Makkeulmeokkeul TV.

The Transition Stepping Stone Program II is designed for students who have graduated from middle school to familiarize themselves with the high school curriculum before entering high school, and is linked to the 'New School Year Curriculum Preparation Week' in February.

During this period, all high schools in the province will provide prospective first-year high school students with information on school curriculum operation plans, various elective courses, and joint educational courses between schools to help new students design their career paths and aptitudes after entering in March.

Superintendent Lim Jong-sik said, "I hope students overcome their anxiety about advancing to higher education through the Transition Stepping Stone Program and successfully adapt to high school," adding, "We will do our best to support the establishment of a student-centered high school credit system where students who have explored their dreams and talents through the Free Semester System can choose and complete subjects they like on their own."
