Ulsan Office of Education, 'Cheoeum Hakgyoro' 2024 Kindergarten Student Recruitment

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education will begin priority application submissions for the 2024 academic year starting November 1st through the kindergarten admission management system, ‘Cheoeum Hakgyoro’. General application submissions will begin on November 17th.

Priority recruitment is a system that gives preferential selection to children who meet certain criteria, such as those from legally low-income families, families of national veterans, families of North Korean defectors, and others (conditions vary by region and kindergarten).

General application submission refers to the period during which general applicants can register. General recruitment is conducted in two phases: the main application and the preliminary application. Users who cannot access the site during the main application period can apply online through the preliminary application.

Starting this year, cross-application between online and on-site submissions is possible during the main application period, while preliminary applications cannot be submitted on-site.

The Office of Education also provides an automatic notification service for parents regarding vacancy information and additional recruitment, allowing them to receive updates on changes in the number of openings at kindergartens of interest.

The kindergarten admission management system ‘Cheoeum Hakgyoro’ allows parents with children aged 3 and above, but not yet in elementary school, to search for kindergartens, apply, check lottery results, and register via mobile or online without visiting the kindergarten in person.

To ensure transparency and fairness in kindergarten admissions, the system began pilot operation in 2017 and is now mandatory in 17 cities and provinces.

When the parent service (membership registration) begins on the 1st of next month, priority recruitment will start, followed sequentially by general recruitment and additional recruitment. Early admission (children born between January 1 and February 28, 2021) and deferred enrollment applicants can visit the kindergarten in advance and apply on-site.

A representative from the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education stated, “Through the stable operation of the kindergarten admission management system ‘Cheoeum Hakgyoro’, we aim to eliminate inconveniences in kindergarten admissions and increase parents’ trust by publicly disclosing a fair and transparent admission process.”
