The government announced on May 25 that it will dramatically improve the student-university screening, which has been unfairly controversial in university entrance examinations, and increase the proportion of on-time screening centered on university mathematics examinations (SAT).

In order to resolve the deterioration of high school books, we decided to collectively convert special purpose high schools such as autonomous private high schools (self-accidents) and foreign language high schools in 2025, when high school credit systems are fully introduced.

Deputy Prime Minister Yu Eun-hye and the Minister of Education said they discussed the issue at the meeting of the Minister for Education and Reform, which was held by President Moon Jae-in at the government office briefing.

Yoo said, “University-based universities in Seoul, which are highly concentrated on academics and essay writing, will increase the rate of on-time SAT screening,” he said.

On the basis of the increase in the on-time ratio, he explained, "We will finalize it based on the contents already agreed and the field opinion in the process of publicizing the loan in 2018."

In addition, he said, "We decided to improve the grades that are considered to have a significant impact on the information and economic power of parents."

Subsequently, university admissions, which are said to be favorable to certain high school types and cause excessive private tutoring, will be actively abolished, and the regional balance screening and the underprivileged screening will be expanded.

The Ministry of Education plans to announce ways to strengthen the fairness of admissions in November, reflecting on-site opinions, when the results of the current survey on the management of grades are being conducted for 13 universities.

Regarding how to resolve the high school ranking, Yu said, “In contrast to the original purpose of establishment, we will actively promote the conversion of our own high school, external high school, and international high school into a general general high school with the introduction of high school credit system in 2025.”

He added that he plans to announce specific details on how to resolve the deterioration of high school education and strengthen the general high school capacity.

"Everybody, including President Moon, deeply shared the feelings of loss and frustration that education is a means of inheriting the socio-economic status of parents," he said. "We will boldly improve the privileged and unequal educational and social systems." "He emphasized.
