Busan Office of Education Operates 'Summer School' for 1st and 2nd Year High School Students

Busan Metropolitan Office of Education is operating a ‘High School Summer School’ program during the summer vacation.

The High School Summer School will be held for two weeks from the 24th to August 5th at a total of 20 locations, including 6 high schools and 14 universities in the Busan area, targeting 790 first- and second-year general high school students.

The High School Summer School is designed to develop students’ creativity and provide career experience opportunities by separately offering various creative and convergence subjects such as inquiry, experiments and practice, discussions and debates, essay writing, and arts and physical education, which are difficult to open and operate at individual schools.

Busan Office of Education selected a final 50 courses from 159 courses after review, covering various fields such as Korean language, social studies, science, mathematics, physical education, arts, foreign languages, engineering, and liberal arts.

Course operators, composed of university professors and high school teachers, reviewed applicants’ self-introduction letters to select students. They conduct student-centered experiential classes lasting around 18 to 24 hours during the summer school period.

Students’ completion of the High School Summer School activities is recorded in the creative experiential activities section of their school life records and used as evidence for career activities.

Jung Dae-ho, Director of Secondary Education at the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, said, “Recently, the popularity of the High School Summer School, where students can independently consider and decide their career paths and attend lectures by university professors in their majors, is steadily increasing,” and added, “We hope the summer school will greatly help students explore their career paths.”
