[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Out-of-school youth preparing for next year's college entrance exam, including those who passed or registered for the qualification exam, will also receive priority vaccination in August.
On the 29th, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family announced that it will accept applications for priority COVID-19 vaccination at 220 out-of-school youth support centers for out-of-school youth preparing for the 2022 academic year college entrance exam.
The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency and the Ministry of Education are promoting priority vaccination for high school seniors and those taking the September mock CSAT, and will provide equal support to youth preparing for exams outside of school.
The priority vaccination applicants are out-of-school youth aged 16 to 24 who have passed the high school qualification exam or registered for the qualification exam in August 2021 and are applying for the 2022 academic year college entrance exam.
However, applicants for the 2022 College Scholastic Ability Test mock exam administered by the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation and students of unauthorized educational institutions are excluded from the application as the Ministry of Education submits their information collectively.
The application period is from the 29th to July 12th. Applicants should visit the nearest out-of-school youth support center with their ID and high school qualification exam certificate (or August 2021 qualification exam registration certificate).
