[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hong Jeonghwan] Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 20th that it will create high school credit system-type school spaces for all high schools by 2024 in preparation for the implementation of the high school credit system in 2025.


According to the Office of Education, this year, three schools?Namchang High School, Seongsin High School, and Ulsan Girls' High School?are carrying out projects to create high school credit system school spaces.


Next year, ten schools including Hakseong High School, Sinjeong High School, Ulsan Jungang High School, Sinseon Girls' High School, Hyundai High School, Mugeo High School, Ulsan Gangnam High School, Ulsan Jungang Girls' High School, Hyundai Technical High School, and Ulsan Beauty Arts High School will participate in the project.


The Office of Education plans to complete the project for the remaining 23 schools by 2024. For the 16 schools where the project has already been completed, it will support a budget of 4.2 billion KRW this year for replacing outdated equipment and establishing smart classroom environments.


The Office of Education explained that the high school credit system requires a flexible learning space with multi-purpose and multi-functionality, as the curriculum is organized and operated according to students' choices and demands.


To respond to diverse subject demands, the Office of Education plans to build variable classrooms such as large, medium, and small-sized classrooms, and classrooms equipped with folding or sliding doors. Additionally, future-oriented smart classroom environments capable of hybrid online and offline classes, as well as home bases, student rest areas, and small group activity spaces to accommodate free periods, will also be created.



An official from the Office of Education said, “Through the high school credit system school space project, we will solidify the foundation for the introduction of the credit system and create a future-oriented school environment that nurtures each student's dreams and self-directed capabilities.”
