View of the Ministry of Education in Sejong Government Complex, “The government expands the application for the open recruitment of principals of autonomous public high schools and establishes a basis for admitting the children of employees of affiliated institutions. Furthermore, to alleviate the burden of raising children from multiple-child families, the special allocation conditions for prioritizing middle school assignments are being relaxed.”,
,
, “The Ministry of Education announced on the 30th that the amendment proposals for the ‘Enforcement Decree of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act’ and the ‘Regulations on the Appointment of Educational Officials’ were deliberated and resolved in the State Council.”,
,
, ‘According to the revision of the decree, the basis for autonomous public high schools to conduct admission screening for the children of employees of affiliated institutions has been established. A certain percentage of the admission quota can be determined and the admission screening can be conducted by the authorized body of the school. Some autonomous private high schools established by corporations (Chaesa-go) separately select children of employees at a certain percentage.’,
,
, “The Ministry of Education expects that through this, schools and affiliated institutions can strengthen mutual cooperation for school development and improvement of regional educational capabilities, consequently improving the living conditions in the region. Additionally, guidelines and procedures have been established to prevent indiscriminate operation of the system, detailing schools that can introduce separate admission screenings, the percentage of admission screenings, qualifications of affiliated institutions, etc., in the ‘Regulations on the Designation and Operation of Autonomous Public High Schools’.”,
,
, “Through the revision of the ‘Regulations on the Appointment of Educational Officials’, the autonomy of appointing principals is further increased. This is to allow the appointment of principals that suit the characteristics and conditions of the school. Previously, autonomous public high schools could only conduct internal recruitment for principals, but with this revision, open recruitment is now possible as well. Both internal and open recruitment allow individuals without a principal certification to become principals, but for internal recruitment, a teaching certification is required, while for open recruitment, individuals without a teaching certification can become principals.”,
,
, ‘According to the revision of the Enforcement Decree of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the prioritization conditions for middle school assignments for students from multi-child families have been relaxed. Previously, priority assignment to middle schools was allowed only for families with three or more children under the age of 18, but with this revision, the age limit has been removed, making priority assignment possible for families with three or more children regardless of age.’,
,
, “Furthermore, the conditions for special school assignment for incoming middle and high school students are expanded. The Superintendent of Education can designate schools for admission based on reasons such as ‘rare diseases, cancer, type 1 diabetes, or any other severe and chronic disease that requires continuous medical support’ in addition to the current ‘physical disabilities’, relieving the burden of long-distance commuting for students with health reasons.”, ‘article_split’,
