Busan Pukyung Health Middle and High School's Long-Awaited Special Entrance Ceremony

Entrance Ceremony Held for Late-Blooming Middle and High School Students Aged 40 to 80

On March 2nd at 10 a.m., Bukyeong Health High School and its affiliated Bukyeong Middle School in Saha-gu, Busan, will hold an entrance ceremony at Eunhang Church Vision Center for late-blooming middle and high school students in their 40s to 80s who have waited for many years.

The students enrolling that day have various backgrounds. Mr. Kim, a high school entrant in his 70s, worked at a shoe factory during the day about 40 years ago while diligently attending night high school and graduated, but since the school was not officially recognized, he has lived with regret throughout his life.

Also, Mr. Pyo, a middle school entrant in his 50s, had to give up his dream of education after graduating from elementary school due to difficult family circumstances and started working in a factory to support his family. However, by chance, he received information from an acquaintance attending Bukyeong Middle School and found the courage to enroll this year.

Other students with various stories will also participate in the entrance ceremony that day.

Principal Kwon Young-ho of Bukyeong Health High School said, “The new students have a stronger will to learn than anyone else,” and added, “We send a round of applause to all students who are overcoming difficult times and starting their studies anew.”

Bukyeong Health High School and its affiliated Bukyeong Middle School have been providing opportunities to obtain academic qualifications since 2001 to residents of the Busan and Gyeongnam regions who missed their chance to study during difficult times in the past.

They operate three semesters a year, allowing students to complete their studies in two years, with graduation recognized as equivalent to regular courses.
