This event was organized to proactively respond to significant changes in the educational environment, such as the full implementation of the high school credit system and the 2028 college entrance reform, and to discuss the enhancement of student-tailored college admission guidance support.

The meeting was attended by admission officers from the Gyeonggi Office of Education and over 60 admission officers from 44 universities in the metropolitan area.

The main agenda included ▲ sharing the Gyeonggi Office of Education’s college admission education policy direction ▲ guidance on future college entrance reform measures to restore the essence of education ▲ information on the operation of the high school credit system for the 2025 academic year ▲ plans for the 2025 Gyeonggi IB (International Baccalaureate) education program ▲ operation plans for the 2025 Gyeonggi Shared School-University linked programs ▲ introduction of Gyeonggi Ieum On School ▲ and discussions among university admission officers.

In particular, the Gyeonggi future education system, which organically connects schools (Education Sector 1), Gyeonggi Shared Schools (Education Sector 2), and Gyeonggi Online Schools (Education Sector 3), attracted high interest from university admission officers.

One university admission officer said, “I was able to understand the practical direction of the Gyeonggi future public education system and the Gyeonggi Office of Education’s college admission education policy. Universities also need to explore various student selection methods in line with these efforts.”

Another admission officer stated, “I hope that by utilizing online platforms such as Gyeonggi Ieum On School and through continuous communication and cooperation between the Office of Education and universities, we can provide students with broader educational opportunities.”

Kim Young-sook, Director of Secondary Education at the Gyeonggi Office of Education, said, “The year 2025 will be a period when students subject to the existing college entrance system and those under the high school credit system coexist. Based on the opinions gathered at the meeting, we will strengthen cooperation among universities, schools, and the Office of Education, enhance the capabilities of college admission guidance leader teachers, and actively expand support for school sites.”
