The training was led by the supervising supervisor, who focused on the "2026 Academic Year Middle School Admission Work Operation Guidelines."

In particular, the session included detailed explanations of new or strengthened guidelines for the 2026 academic year, as well as a Q&A session to address questions from the field. Participating teachers carefully reviewed major changes directly related to ensuring fairness, such as the revised assignment principles, procedures for assigning students to special areas, and standards for processing documents, thereby broadening their understanding of the assignment process.

This was followed by in-depth training on the core of the middle school admission assignment work: the "2026 Academic Year Middle School Admission Assignment Program Usage."

Kim Joungho, a teacher from Namgye Elementary School, served as the instructor, providing a hands-on, detailed explanation of the program’s specific operation, data entry and verification procedures, and response strategies for various types of errors that may occur during the assignment process. This helped raise the program proficiency of the staff responsible for these tasks to a professional level.

Shin Woonshik, Head of the Education Support Division at the Gumi Office of Education, commented on the training, saying, "Middle school admission assignment is the starting line for our children, who are the talents of the future, and a matter of great interest for parents. Our office will thoroughly supervise every step of the assignment process to ensure transparent and fair management, leaving no room for error, and we will do our utmost to enhance trust in educational administration."
