[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] The Imsil Bonghwang Talent Academy in Jeonbuk is gaining attention from students and parents as its high-quality education system becomes well known.


According to the county on the 18th, the recent additional recruitment to fill vacancies due to transfers received 41 applicants for 8 spots, showing a high competition rate of 5.1 to 1.


The Bonghwang Talent Academy has been operating since selecting 150 students for the 2021 academic year in December last year.


Among them, some students gave up attending for various reasons, so additional recruitment was held to give a chance to students who unfortunately could not enroll during last year's recruitment, and many applicants gathered from the first day.


This figure is 1.6 times higher than last year's additional recruitment competition rate of 3.5 to 1, which is interpreted as an increase in parents' trust and interest in the Bonghwang Talent Academy's academic performance.


Additional students will be selected through a selection test held at the Bonghwang Talent Academy, with test subjects being Korean, English, and Mathematics. The successful candidates will be announced on the county office website on the 22nd.


The second half of the semester will begin on the 5th of next month, with classes held Monday through Friday, four periods per day, covering Korean, English, Mathematics, and special lectures for science and history to prepare for school grades.


The Bonghwang Talent Academy has also completed registration for the second half academy consignment program.


As a result of the registration, 158 applicants competed for 107 spots, including 40 elementary and 67 middle school students in the area, reflecting the interest of local students and parents.


The academy consignment program is a project promoted to provide equal educational opportunities to low-income, multicultural, and large-family students, as well as next-in-line students who were not selected for the Bonghwang Talent Academy, including local elementary and middle school students.


The successful candidates will be announced on the county office website on the 23rd after a thorough document review.


The selected students will receive consigned classes at local tutoring and arts academies from the 1st of next month until December 31st, choosing one subject among Korean, Mathematics, and English for middle school students, and among Art and Music for elementary students.


Through the Bonghwang Talent Academy's after-school customized program and the academy consignment program, the county aims to improve the relatively poor educational environment compared to urban areas and provide quality education to local elementary and middle school students.


The results of the Bonghwang Talent Academy and academy consignment program can be checked on the county website, and detailed inquiries can be made to the Bonghwang Talent Academy.



County Governor Shim Min said, "The Bonghwang Talent Academy, promoted as a pledge during the 6th local government term, is receiving positive responses from students and parents year after year," adding, "We will do our best to serve as a foundation for nurturing local talent."
