Busan Office of Education Provides Customized Counseling Support for Students at General High Schools in Old Downtown and Western Busan Areas

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education will establish educational curriculum coordinator counseling rooms in 20 general high schools in the old downtown and western Busan areas by the end of February next year to reduce educational disparities between regions.

The counseling rooms are spaces where high school students applying the high school credit system can develop the ability to select subjects considering their career paths and interests, and receive counseling to design their learning accordingly.

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education selected a total of 20 general high schools through a public contest, including 10 public and 10 private schools. Each school will receive 30 million KRW in support, and the education office will provide a total budget of 600 million KRW to establish the counseling rooms.

The counseling rooms will be equipped with materials and books that provide information on students' career paths, related departments, and occupations, as well as various elective subject textbooks. Additionally, a space will be prepared where students can search for information using computers.

With the establishment of the counseling rooms, the Busan Office of Education plans to activate individualized counseling tailored to students' career paths, aptitudes, and academic performance. Through this, it is expected to help students who have had difficulties obtaining consulting and information on subject selection and college admission processes, thereby contributing to reducing educational disparities between regions.

Ha Yun-su, Superintendent of Education of Busan, said, "The establishment of these counseling rooms will be a great help in providing students taking the high school credit system with information and counseling that perfectly fit their needs," and added, "I hope the operation of these counseling rooms will play an important role in supporting students' growth."
