Songpa-gu to Hold Visiting High School Credit System Briefings Starting from the 13th of This Month

On the 27th of last month, the "2024 High School Admission Information Session" was held at the Songpa-gu Office auditorium. On this day, the district conducted a special lecture for middle school parents about the high school credit system and the changing university admissions. Provided by Songpa-gu.

Songpa-gu, Seoul (Mayor Seo Gang-seok) will hold the "High School Credit System Explanation Session Visiting Middle Schools" from the 13th to the 20th of this month to prepare for the high school credit system to be implemented next year.

The "High School Credit System" is a system where students select subjects according to their career paths or aptitudes, earn credits upon meeting completion criteria, and graduate. While it is expected to motivate learning and interest through customized education, it differs significantly from the existing curriculum, raising questions among students and parents.

The explanation sessions will be led by a group of current high school teachers from Songpa-gu. The district will divide the applying middle schools into four zones, allowing high school teachers from nearby schools where students will likely enroll to provide firsthand information.

The main topics include ▲Understanding the high school credit system fully implemented in 2025 ▲Changes in the high school curriculum ▲Considerations when selecting high schools and subjects. The district plans to produce a separate educational booklet containing the session content to distribute exclusively to attending parents.

The sessions will be held at Pungseong Middle School on the 13th, Jamsil Middle School on the 14th, Oju Middle School on the 18th, and Oryun Middle School on the 20th, targeting about 800 parents from 14 schools that applied.

From July to October, the sessions will continue by visiting 14 middle schools in the district, targeting third-year middle school students. For further inquiries, contact the Education Cooperation Division of Songpa-gu Office.

Mayor Seo Gang-seok stated, "We will do our best to support Songpa students to quickly adapt to the changing curriculum and proactively pioneer their career paths."
