Gyeonggi Office of Education Drastically Changes Future Education... Expands 'Collaborative Education and High School Credit System'

Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education announced the 'Gyeonggi Future Curriculum' on the 6th, which includes measures to strengthen students' learning choices.

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education is expanding the joint curriculum, which was previously applied only to high schools, to elementary and middle schools. Additionally, an online school to establish the high school credit system will open in September next year. Furthermore, for the first time nationwide, a Gyeonggi-type basic academic proficiency standard that students must commonly achieve upon graduating from elementary and middle schools will be set and implemented.

On the 6th, the Office of Education announced the 'Gyeonggi Future Curriculum,' which focuses on ▲strengthening the execution of school curricula reflecting students' learning choices ▲classes where students lead learning through questioning and inquiry ▲establishing a future-oriented evaluation system, all aimed at equipping students with initiative and competencies necessary for future society.

First, the joint curriculum, which was mainly operated in small schools, will be linked with local communities or shared schools starting in 2025 and gradually expanded.

Also, the online school to establish the high school credit system will open in September next year, with plans to extend its introduction to middle schools thereafter.

Creative experiential activities centered on creativity, volunteering, and activities based on student choice will be operated, and various elective courses will be offered according to school autonomous hours to enhance students' learning choices.

The Office of Education will focus the direction of classes and evaluations on fostering students' initiative and competencies.

To facilitate classes where students independently question, inquire, and find answers, a class program (framework) implementing the inquiry-execution-reflection process will be developed and applied from the new semester next year.

In particular, the Office of Education has presented the 'Gyeonggi-type Basic Academic Proficiency,' which students must commonly achieve upon graduating from elementary and middle schools, for the first time nationwide, and has established the 'Common Core Standards' as its criteria.
