[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] According to the analysis of the 2020 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) scores by the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation, high school students in the Daegu area ranked among the top nationwide in CSAT performance.


On the 24th, the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education reported that the average standard scores of Daegu CSAT test-takers across all subjects were significantly higher than the national average. In subject-specific national rankings, Daegu ranked 2nd in the Korean language section and 3rd in both Mathematics Type A and Type B sections.


The analysis covered all test-takers, but the school background and regional analysis focused on students enrolled in general high schools, specialized high schools, and autonomous high schools. The results included analyses related to students' CSAT scores as well as school and regional backgrounds.


In the Korean language, Mathematics Type A, Mathematics Type B, and English sections, the proportion of students achieving grades 1-2 was much higher than the standard rate, demonstrating a strong presence in the top tier.

A representative from the Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education welcomed the results, stating, "This year's CSAT achievements are the result of thorough efforts to integrate curriculum, instruction, assessment, and record-keeping; strengthen collaborative education among schools; operate university-linked Dream Creation Campuses; and secure school autonomy and student choice while ensuring basic academic skills."
