[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Sharon] The Gyeongsangnam-do Office of Education announced on the 15th that it will select 17 general high schools for this year's School Space Innovation Project and provide 5.4 billion KRW in support in preparation for the full implementation of the High School Credit System scheduled for 2025.


The High School Credit System is a system that guarantees students' choices as much as possible in curriculum organization and operation, allowing them to select subjects according to their career paths and aspirations.


To this end, teachers must be supported to teach the subjects students want, and school spaces need to be restructured according to various learning methods.


Schools from 12 cities and counties in the province applied for this contest, and selections were made evenly by region, with expectations that educational disparities will also be resolved.


The School Space Innovation Project involves students, teachers, and parents forming an educational community to participate in all processes, with key aspects including the establishment of learning and resting spaces and diversified spaces such as cafe-style learning areas.



Hong Jeong-hee, Director of Education, stated, "Various types of spaces tailored to each school's situation are necessary for the successful settlement and implementation of the High School Credit System," adding, "We will support not only the idle spaces within schools but also the restructuring of existing spaces so that students and teachers can be satisfied before the system is implemented."
