▲ Third-year high school students prepare for the June mock evaluation of the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) at Seoul Girls' High School in Mapo-gu, Seoul, on June 4.
Regarding media reports that it is pushing for college admissions reforms—such as converting all subjects of the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) to an absolute grading system and introducing essay-type questions to the exam—the National Education Commission stated, "No college admissions reform plan has been finalized at this point."
In an explanatory statement, the commission said, "Currently, reviews and discussions are underway within the Special Committee on College Admissions, an advisory body, and nothing has been finalized regarding the college admissions system."
The commission added, "Once discussions are completed by the special committee, they will be compiled into a report and submitted to the National Education Commission. We plan to include it in the National Education Development Plan currently being prepared by the commission, after going through a stage of thoroughly gathering opinions from the education field and the public."
The commission is currently preparing the National Education Development Plan to be applied from 2028 to 2037, which will also include college admissions reform proposals.
The commission plans to draft the National Education Development Plan (2028–2037) by the end of October, undergo public deliberation processes such as gathering opinions from various sectors, and announce the finalized plan in March of next year.
