[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] In Seoul, if a high school assignment is canceled due to false address registration, a transfer application can only be made after three months.

On the 15th, the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education announced the "2022 Academic Year High School Transfer and Admission Implementation Plan," which sets the standards and procedures for high school transfers and admissions in Seoul, effective from March 1.

The number of false address registration cases in Seoul high schools in 2021 was 35, showing a decrease of about 33% compared to the previous year (52 cases).

Starting from the 2022 academic year, the criteria for transfer applications for students whose assignments were canceled due to false address registration or non-registration will be strengthened.

Previously, transfer applications were allowed after one month of enrollment excluding vacation periods, but from March, applications can only be made after more than three months have passed.

If a student’s assignment is canceled twice at the same school due to false address registration (residence) or non-registration, they will not be allowed to apply to the same school from the third time onward.

From the 2022 academic year, during the concentrated transfer application period at the start of the semester (March 2?3), applications will be accepted via email instead of in-person visits.

Since 14% of the annual transfer and admission cases occur at the start of the semester and considering the spread of COVID-19 infections, non-face-to-face applications will be implemented.

The transfer application targets include students transferring from other cities or provinces to Seoul, transfers within Seoul due to changes in school districts, and high school students transferring with the principal’s recommendation.

The documents required to prove residence change for general high school transfers and admissions will also be simplified. The marriage relation certificate will be excluded, and only the student’s basic certificate needs to be submitted.
