The university and high school collaborated to prepare for this competition. Dong-Eui Institute of Technology and Sejeong High School have been actively operating exchange programs including shared use of facilities since signing a 2+2 linked curriculum agreement in March.

Both schools prepared by sharing ideas necessary for creating works and purchasing ingredients, as well as jointly using university cooking practice rooms and cooking equipment.

Professor Kim Ho-kyung of Dong-Eui Institute of Technology led training for six weeks, traveling between the university and the high school.

Seven students including Hong Seung-min, a second-year student in the Food Service Cooking Department at Sejeong High School, won 4 gold medals and 3 silver medals in the high school division individual exhibition competition.

Professor Kim Ho-kyung said, “Thanks to the hard cooperation of all students from our university and Sejeong High School for over a month, we achieved great results. We will continue to expand exchange opportunities with high schools.”

The 2+2 linked education program is a curriculum that connects two years of specialized high school courses with two years of junior college courses to train skilled technicians required by local industries.
