Applications for admission for the 2022 academic year were accepted until last week. Among the students who do not attend school and prepare for college through the GED, there are some cases where they cannot apply to the desired university.



Reporter Ahn Sang-woo covered what happened.

Ms. A is preparing for the college entrance exam this year after passing the high school qualification exam.



However, in the end, I was not able to apply for the one-time application to the one university I was aiming for.



This university only accepts life records issued by the Out-of-School Youth Support Center under the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.



[Ms. A/Student: Like me, if you are attending an alternative school or a friend who found out about this a little late, you will not be able to apply, so I thought it was unfair in that respect.]



About 23% of this year’s admissions for

university

admissions, 70,000 About 9,000 students are selected through the general screening of student records at any time.



The education authorities have


prepared an alternative form for the student

record from

this year

for the candidates who took the GED, who suffered a disadvantage in this admission because they did not have school records

.



If you submit the details of small groups or volunteer activities you participated in while not attending school without revealing your achievements or language proficiency, in accordance with the form, you will be evaluated according to the student record.



However, the disadvantage remains as some universities refuse to accept alternative forms on the basis of autonomy.



[University official: The 'recommended alternative form' in the Daekyohyup is only a recommendation...

]



[Seungmin Jeong/Teacher of Alternative School: This will happen repeatedly every year, and applicants who have passed the GED will inevitably feel deprived.] About



14,000 students from the GED will take the university entrance exam this year.



Although it is about 3% of the total number of test takers, more effective alternatives are needed to ensure equality of opportunity.
