The Gunpo Uiwang Education Support Office launched a customized college admission consulting program on August 22, aimed at assisting students with career and college planning in line with the high school credit system and the 2022 revised curriculum.
According to the office, the program took place at the Gunpo High School gymnasium, serving 270 students from local middle schools and first and second-year high school students through the '2026 Gunpo Uiwang High School Credit System-Based 1:1 Customized College Admission Consulting.'
This initiative was designed to address students' and parents' questions regarding the changing high school curriculum and college admission landscape, providing specific guidance tailored to each student's career aspirations and academic level.
Consultants included leading teachers in college admission guidance from Gunpo Uiwang and Gyeonggi Province, who conducted in-depth consultations at 30 different booths.
Prior to the consultations, students' school records and mock exam scores were analyzed to ensure personalized advice that considered their academic achievements and career interests.
Key topics covered in the consultations included: analysis of potential colleges based on current grades, strategies for college applications, course selection under the high school credit system, and exploration of colleges and majors aligned with students' career goals.
Particularly for third-year middle school students, the consultations focused on how course selection and academic planning in high school would connect to future college admissions, helping them visualize their career and learning paths before starting high school.
Participating students and parents expressed positive feedback, noting the personalized nature of the consultations based on individual grades and school experiences, as well as the ability to connect course selection under the high school credit system to college admissions.
One student remarked, "I often felt uncertain about what criteria to use when choosing a college or major, but reviewing my current grades and desired career path helped me think about which subjects to choose and how to prepare moving forward."
Parents also commented, "It’s not easy for parents to grasp the changing college admission system, but receiving explanations based on the student’s actual school life and grades made it easier to understand. It was helpful to consult directly with teachers who have real experience in college guidance rather than relying on private education counseling."
Jeong Suk-kyung, the education director, stated, "With the changes in the high school credit system and college admission processes, the demand for diverse admission information from students and parents is increasing."
She added, "We will continue to strengthen personalized admission support considering each student's career and academic capabilities, and provide accurate college admission information to help students proactively design their career paths and futures."
