Cheon Chang-su, Ulsan Superintendent of Education, Conducts On-site Inspection of High School Credit System Space Creation

Cheon Chang-su, Superintendent of Education for Ulsan City, visited Sinjeong High School in Nam-gu, Ulsan on the 25th to conduct an on-site inspection of the preparations for the operation of the high school credit system and the creation of credit system-type school spaces.

Last year, Sinjeong High School established a student-friendly, future-oriented smart teaching and learning environment through the high school credit system school space creation project.

Superintendent Cheon met with teachers and students at Sinjeong High School to exchange opinions and discuss ways to support the stable establishment of the high school credit system in the field.

Superintendent Cheon said, “We are actively supporting the credit system-type school space creation project to introduce future-oriented learning spaces centered on student activities and the high school credit system. I hope that in these transformed school spaces, our children will be able to pursue various dreams through student-centered teaching and learning activities and self-directed educational activities.”

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education plans to complete the restructuring project of credit system-type school spaces for all general high schools in the Ulsan area by 2024 and to fully implement the high school credit system starting in 2025.

The creation of school spaces is a project that supports the restructuring of necessary school spaces to efficiently operate the high school credit system. The schools involved are creating classroom spaces suitable for student-choice-centered curricula.

Facilitators contracted by the schools and design experts contracted by the education office are creating flexible learning spaces for mobile classes and student rest and communication areas by reflecting the opinions of faculty and students.

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education is promoting the construction of credit system-type school spaces after establishing support plans by year.

Next year, it plans to support 15.969 billion KRW for construction of school spaces at 11 schools including Daun High School.

The high school credit system is a system where students select subjects according to their career paths and aptitudes based on basic literacy and fundamental academic skills, earn credits for subjects in which they meet the completion criteria, accumulate these credits, and graduate.
