Gyeonggi Office of Education to Expand 'Joint Curriculum' Next Year in Preparation for High School Credit System

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education is strengthening the operation of the 'Joint Curriculum' to guarantee students' learning choices.

The Joint Curriculum is an educational program operated through cooperation and linkage between schools (institutions) for small-group and advanced subjects that are difficult to offer at individual schools. It is an educational system that helps guarantee students' learning choices, provides learning experiences suited to their career paths and levels, fosters self-directed capabilities, and improves academic achievement.

This semester, the Office of Education opened 538 courses, including 301 online and 237 offline courses, at 395 hub schools, with 7,912 high school students in the province applying.

To particularly activate the Joint Curriculum, the Office of Education is expanding the operation of central hub schools, which were operated in 8 regions last year, to all 25 education support offices starting this year.

Kim Yoon-gi, Director of the Curriculum Policy Division at the Office of Education, stated, "To ensure the full implementation of the high school credit system scheduled for next year and its establishment in school sites, securing diverse subject choices and enhancing educational capacity through regional networks are important," adding, "We will actively support students so that they can improve their self-directed capabilities and academic achievement through learning experiences suited to their career paths and levels."
