정부 "외고·자사고 2025년 일반고 전환"…고교 서열화 해체
Near most of
elite high schools including autonomous private high schools, foreign language
high schools, and International high schools will be changed to regular high
schools by 2025 according to the government on November 7th. The
only exception will be the science, arts, and physical education high schools.
The Education
Minister Yoon Eun Hae presented at the Seoul Chung-sa that the project will
help to level the education field fairly.
The disbanded
schools can use their names and the education program after 2025. However, they
will lose the authority to choose specific students. Like other urban schools
in Seoul, students will be assigned to the school. Also, people who graduated
from the elite schools will not change their diploma for 6 years.
Additionally,
students will not pay over one hundred thousand won worth of tuition to the
school, it will be free just like other regular schools.
The government
is planning to invest about 2 trillion won for 5 years in this project.
Opinion polls
of the project showed to be over 50% in favor according to the official
results.
