[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The Korea Council for University Education announced on the 24th that it has canceled the "2021 Academic Year Regular Admission University Entrance Information Fair," which was scheduled to be held for three days from the 30th to January 1st of next year at COEX in Samseong-dong, Seoul.

The University Entrance Information Fair Preparation Committee had been promoting the fair to provide entrance exam information despite the COVID-19 situation, and 107 universities nationwide had applied to participate.

However, due to the elevation of social distancing measures to level 2.5 in the metropolitan area and entry restrictions according to government quarantine guidelines, it was judged impossible to provide entrance exam counseling to examinees, leading to the final decision to cancel.

The Council stated, "We will prepare a plan to operate non-face-to-face online counseling," and added, "We are consulting with quarantine authorities and related organizations to minimize the damage to universities that applied to participate due to the cancellation."
