Education Universities Can Choose Students Freely
페이지 정보
본문
Universities will be able to select students according to their own guidelines as the incoming administration has made it clear that it will give them more autonomy. The exact timetable for the phased liberalization of the college admission system has yet to be decided. The transition team's spokesman Lee Dong-kwan said Wednesday that colleges will be given discretion in stages in the selection of students, reaffirming the downscaling of the regulation-oriented Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development. The ministry's functions in admission policy will be transferred to the Korean Council for University Education, comprised of a group of university presidents, next month when the transition team concludes its government reorganization plan, the spokesman said. ``For high school and college education, universities will have more autonomy, and regional educational offices, not the education ministry, will supervise elementary and middle schools,'' he said.
The transition committee has not decided when to implement the first stage, and will make the decision by early next month. In line with this blueprint, the ministry is expected to undergo a total reorganization, or even face dissolution. ``Some parts of the ministry's functions should be reduced, and some others need to be merged with those of the labor, and science and technology ministries,'' the spokesman said.
The transition committee also demanded the ministry come up with measures to improve the current CSAT system, which causes confusion for students, as it does not offer raw scores but divides students into nine grades, by early February, after collecting experts' opinions. The transition team spokesman said the Lee administration will set up about 300 government-subsidized elite high schools and specialized vocational high schools to stress diversity in education. The plan symbolizes Korea's emphasis on egalitarianism to elitism and diversity in education policy.

Hugh 작성일Hum... frankly speaking, I'm a Foreign langage high school student so I apreciate for this policy. However, I think that If these many univercities go so far to get 'good' student, It'll be more tough to get in because at any chance, it's possible to require very different qualification from various universities.

OF쿠르트 작성일Yes, I feel sympathy because I'm in a Foreign language high school too. This news will be good since they will allow to enter students who has good ability and the school wants. But I'm worried if the school think only its benefits, and there will be more individual education preference.
