Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] It was revealed in an audit by the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education that the management of exams and school records was poorly conducted at some schools in Jeonnam Province.

According to the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education on the 21st, a comprehensive audit of 26 high schools in Jeonnam Province from September to November found that some high schools made errors in creating and grading written exams or failed to comply with the regulations for preparing school records.

At Suncheon A High School, the regulation requiring that written exams for general subjects such as Korean, English, Mathematics, and Inquiry must include descriptive questions accounting for at least 20% of the total score (and at least 10% for Physical Education, Arts, and specialized subjects) was violated. The Office of Education issued warnings to seven teachers.

Additionally, at Yeosu B High School, two teachers were cautioned for grading descriptive questions in the written exam for the 3rd grade, 2nd semester 2020 academic year 'Reading Classics' subject differently from the established grading rubric.

Furthermore, among the four audited high schools, three were found to have poorly managed school records.

An official from the Office of Education stated, “In the schools concerned, teachers mistakenly created descriptive questions instead of short-answer questions. Also, issuing identical or similar questions compared to past exams during written exam preparation violates the academic performance management guidelines. School records are also critical materials for university admissions and require thorough management.”
