The Ministry of Education introduced a method of viewing students' academic achievement on a computer like the TOEFL or TOEIC every year, but the first test for high school students failed to connect, but the test was stopped within 2 hours.

The national-level academic achievement evaluation conducted by computer instead of paper test papers is a key project of the Ministry of Education this year.
However, in the first official test for 10,000 high school sophomores across the country, an access problem occurred.
At around 9:10 a.m., the system stopped completely.
[High school 2nd student: I couldn't see anything (on the screen).
I got fed up.
Teachers said, 'It will be fixed soon,' so I kept doing 'refresh' for two hours.]
At 11 am, the test was finally stopped.
This is the first time since the implementation of the national level academic achievement assessment.
[Sigir Si / Head of Education Evaluation Division, Korea Institute of Curriculum and Evaluation: The decision was made to terminate the sampling evaluation promptly in consideration of the setbacks in the academic operation of the unit school due to the delay in the examination and maintaining the consistency of the sampling evaluation environment.]
Code added to increase stability presumed to be causing the problem.
The Korea Institute of Curriculum and Evaluation announced that it would re-evaluate not only high school sophomores, but also middle school 3, where the test was delayed due to a typhoon, but complaints arose in the field.
[Middle school teacher: The server is not the only problem, but it is a very dangerous situation for children by connecting the multi-tap with an octopus foot (while installing a test laptop).
Besides, ignoring the academic schedule and pushing forward unilaterally...

Also, from the 13th, he said that the plan to allow all desired classes for 6th graders of elementary school, 3rd and 2nd middle school to participate will not change, but it is questionable whether it will be possible with a server that can connect up to 15,000 people at the same time.
